'Panama Papers' dominate PMQs clashes
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said there was a "disconnect" between the government's rhetoric and its actions and that HMRC's budget had been cut.
The SNP's Angus Robertson said 10 times more officials were investigating welfare fraud than tax evasion.
The PM said the figure sounded "bogus" and HMRC staff numbers were going up.
The PMQs clash was the first since a huge leak of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca revealed how some wealthy people use offshore firms to dodge tax and avoid sanctions.
