Revenue and Customs: Loss of CDs

Question: asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will publish the interim report due on 14 December by Mr Kieran Poynter into the loss of personal confidential information by HM Revenue and Customs; and

Answer: Kieran Poynter's interim report was published on 17 December and I repeated in your Lordships' House the Statement on the matter which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made to the House of Commons on that day. Mr Poynter is being assisted by a team from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). The Treasury has entered into a contract with PWC that is commercially confidential and it is too soon to say what the final cost of the ongoing review will be.
