Of course, the loans,which there is no intention of ever repaying—they are simply there to avoid national insurance and income [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] tax—persist into the present. Generous “time to pay” arrangements are available with HMRC; I urge anybody who is involved in avoidance of this kind to talk to Oral Answers to Questions HMRC and come to sensible arrangements.
