The minister stating that releasing the facts might promote non compliance suggests that non compliance is highly unlikely to be investigated, and even if it is investigated, HMRC are unlikely to win.
If the figures had shown that hundreds, even dozens were being caught and prosecuted she would have been trumpeting the "nowhere to hide" message.
A refusal to publish in this case is an admission of failure.
