Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on HMRC Data Loss.


HMRC Data Loss

No, Mr. Poynter will not be looking into that. If the hon. Lady would care to table a parliamentary question on the number of people who contacted the hotline, I will certainly answer it. We were anxious to make sure that a helpline was available fairly quickly, which meant that all those things had to be organised in a matter of days and we did the best we could. It was quite heavily used on the first day or so, but I understand that usage tapered off after that. We tried to do our best to ensure that help was available, which meant that arrangements had to be made fairly quickly.
