Mrs. Lawrence: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the present practice of the Board of Inland Revenue is with regard to
instituting criminal proceedings in cases of suspected serious tax fraud. [80100]
Dawn Primarolo: Further to the statement made on 18 October 1990 at column 882 by the then Chancellor, the right hon. John Major,
the practice of the Board of Inland Revenue in cases of suspected serious tax fraud is as follows:
The Board reserves complete discretion to pursue prosecutions in the circumstances it considers appropriate.
Where serious tax fraud has been committed, the Board may accept a money settlement instead of pursuing a criminal prosecution.
The Board will accept a money settlement and will not pursue a criminal prosecution, if the taxpayer, in response to being given a
copy of this Statement by an authorised officer, makes a full and complete confession of all tax irregularities.

Mrs. Lawrence: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the outcome was of the ECOFIN Council held on 8 October; what the
Government's stance was on the issues discussed, including its voting record; and if he will make a statement. [76605]
Mr. Gordon Brown: I attended the ECOFIN meeting on 8 October.
The Presidency and Commission gave an oral progress report on negotiations with third countries on the draft EU Directive on
Savings. It was decided that the Commission should continue negotiations on the basis of its current mandate.
ECOFIN had an orientation discussion on the Presidency's proposed guidelines for an energy tax directive. The UK supported the
Presidency's draft guidelines. ECOFIN will further consider the outstanding issues at its meeting on 5 November.
On streamlining of economic reform processes and the review of the Employment Strategy, it was agreed that ECOFIN would have a full
discussion in November, on the basis of a joint report by the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) and Economic Policy Committee
(EPC).
Council held an orientation debate on the budgetary and financial aspects of enlargement ahead of the Brussels European Council on
24-25 October. Along with other Member States, the UK stressed the importance of enlargement taking place on a sustainable financial
basis and the need for parallel progress on reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, including degressivity of direct payments.
ECOFIN endorsed the Economic and Financial Committee's proposals on new arrangements for financial stability, supervision and
integration. The proposals will now go for consultation with the European Parliament as well as industry and consumer organisations
before adoption by ECOFIN in December.
Council adopted conclusions on Macro-Financial Assistance and approved an updated Common understanding on economic issues for
Russia.
The Commission stated its intention to end the state aid exemption for aviation insurance from 31 October, and set out criteria for
possible participation in a mutual insurance fund. The Presidency noted that any member state that wished to continue their state
guarantee scheme beyond 31 October would have to apply for general state aid clearance in the normal way. The EFC will continue
discussions on mutual insurance funds to inform future ECOFIN consideration.
At the UK's request, the Commission was asked to produce clarification for EU Ambassadors in COREPER on the scope for an EDF
(European Development Fund) contribution to financing the shortfall in the Highly Indebted Poor Countries initiative.
No votes were taken at the meeting.
