Concentrix End Of Contract

EDM number 479 in 2016-17, proposed by Angela Crawley on 15/09/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Central government and Taxation.

That this House welcomes the decision by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) not to renew the contract of American outsourcing firm Concentrix; understands that the Treasury has revealed 120 cases since October 2015 where Concentrix did not fully meet the performance standards laid out in its contract; notes that thousands of single parents across the country have had their tax credits cut incorrectly as a result of Concentrix fraud investigations; urges HMRC to apologise to the parents who suffered as a result of their contract with Concentrix; and calls on the Government to change the approach in which it assesses allegations of fraud, so not to repeat the failings of Concentrix.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
