Re: Can you sue the government for incompetence?
Minor correction.
Tony Blair was PM at the time. It was Gordon Brown as Chancellor of the Exchequer who decided to amalgamate the Inland Revenue with Customs and Excise with a planned saving (or should I say destruction) of 20,000 jobs.
It was decided that HMRC would be given all the powers of Customs and Excise which were considerable.
