To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of (a) new and (b) increased customs checks after the UK leaves the EU on Customs House clearance times for packages sent from EU member states.
- Answer
-
In the event of a 'no deal', the Government’s priority is to keep goods moving and avoid delays at the border. As the customs authority, HMRC will act to ensure that border processes are as smooth as possible, without compromising security. Our aim is to ensure the movement of all goods continues to operate effectively.
