Written question asked by Will Quince (Conservative) on Monday, 25 April 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 27 April 2016. It was answered by David Gauke (Conservative) on Friday, 29 April 2016 on behalf of the Treasury.


Treasury: Electronic Government

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 21 April 2016 to Question 34465, if HM Revenue and Customs will take steps to enable web-users to include honours when completing government online forms.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does allow customers to enter their title but it does not allow customers to enter other honours. Major changes would be required to a wide range of internal HMRC IT services to capture and store this information. The cost of making such changes would be disproportionate.
