Welfare Tax Credits: Overpayments

Volume 459: debated on Wednesday 18 April 2007

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many notices of warning of legal proceedings if payment was not made were sent to individuals claiming tax credits who were in dispute with HM Revenue and Customs in each month from April 2003 to March 2007; and if he will make a statement. (128930)

It is HMRC's policy to suspend the recovery of overpayments while a dispute is being considered.
