To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what extra revenue HM Revenue and Customs has received since entry into force of the UK-Swiss Confederation Taxation Co-operation Agreement; and what discussions the Government is having with other jurisdictions on similar agreements on tax avoidance.

The Exchequer has received over £1.1bn it would not have received without the agreement. This includes Swiss yield that has been disclosed in the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility since entering into the Agreement.
