Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 7 October 2010.
Government Efficiency
- Question
- My Lords, should we not have high expectations for improved efficiency in HMRC’s tackling of tax evasion and avoidance, given that Sir Philip obviously understands the subtlety with which one can so organise one’s affairs as to minimise a contribution to the nation?
- Answer
-
My Lords, just as good buyers create efficient suppliers, so good government commissioning should create efficient government and value for money. That, I am sure, is what all noble Lords seek. I am sure the House will endorse the setting up of this review and applaud the outcome.
