To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will take steps to ensure that companies which may have engaged people wrongly claiming to be self-employed as a means of national insurance and income tax avoidance are investigated by HM Revenue and Customs; and if he will make a statement.

Legislation was introduced in this yearâs Finance Act to tackle the growing problem of agency workers being falsely classed as self-employed by the use of intermediary companies.
