The letter from the All-Party Parliamentary Loan Charge & Taxpayer Fairness Group states: "In two cases that we are aware of, the loan charge was mentioned in suicide notes.

The All Party Parliamentary Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness Group (APPG) said it had received evidence that HMRC was both sending letters and making phone calls to people facing the loan charge just before and over the Christmas holiday period.
