The Government takes issues relating to loss of life or serious injury extremely seriously.

It is for the independent reviewer to decide how to conduct the review.

As the terms of reference set out, the reviewer is expected to draw upon information and analysis provided by HM Treasury and HMRC during the review. HM Treasury and HMRC must make all possible efforts to support the review team’s work by providing them with any information that they request in a timely fashion unless there is a legal reason not to.
