As for Chris,he's too set in his ways,as I am set in mine,he'll say white,I'll say black.
Perhaps he can answer this,seeing as he's such a bright spark.
The Dept of Work and Pensions have roughly 3,250 staff investigating benefit fraud of £1.2bn. HMRC has just over 300 staff investigating tax evasion of £120bn,can he explain it or will he come away with even more claptrap (again).
I think you will find it is around £10 billion (by their estimates), as I posted (from their information) earlier...

Even the Guardian gives an estimate of £30 billion (HMRC gap analysis of tax collected versus tax estimated to be collected), of which £10 billion (that figure again) is avoidance/evasion.

Just repeating something a lot, doesn't make it factual.....
