Members: Correspondence

Mr. Burns: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects HM Revenue and Customs to reply substantively to the letter of 30 April 2007 from the hon. Member for West Chelmsford, regarding a constituent, Mrs. C. Austin (HMRC ref: 2007/05 00517); what the reasons are for the time taken to reply; and if he will make a statement. [162402]


13 Nov 2007 : Column 214W

Jane Kennedy: Although it is HM Revenue and Customs’ practice to reply to the majority of letters from right hon. and hon. Members within three weeks, following the administrative issue I referred to in my statement of 25 July 2007, Official Report, columns 62-63WS, some parts of HMRC’s tax credits business have, unfortunately, been subject to delays. HMRC regret this and will continue to try to deal with all cases as quickly as they can.

These delays are a result of HMRC having to look again at cases potentially affected by the procedural error and to ensure that households/individuals affected by the error are not given incorrect advice in advance of their award being reviewed.

The three months indicated in the recent letter to the hon. Member was intended to be helpful and indicate the latest date by which HMRC hoped to have resolved the inquiry.

Minimum Wage

Andrew George: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to the answer of 30 October 2007, Official Report, column 1185W, on the minimum wage, what percentage of those in the South West Region earning less than the minimum wage are (a) male and (b) female. [163955]

Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
