Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Tax Credits.


Tax Credits

In her statement, the Paymaster General said:"““Where there is a dispute, I have asked HMRC to consider suspending recovery of excess payments until the dispute is resolved””." Will she make it clear that in all such disputed cases recovery proceedings will indeed be suspended? It is not just a matter of asking HMRC to consider suspending such proceedings. Can she clarify whether it is the Prime Minister’s test or the Paymaster General’s test that will be applied in cases of overpayment due to official error?
