Machinery of Government Change

My Rt Hon Friend the Prime Minister has made the following statement:

Machinery of Government Change

I am making this statement to bring to the House’s attention the following Machinery of Government change.

Responsibility for the Border Delivery Group, henceforth known as the Border and Protocol Delivery Group, has transferred from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to the Cabinet Office.

This change is effective immediately and will help to ensure readiness of the border for the end of the Transition Period and lay the foundations for the best border in the world by 2025. Existing Ministerial responsibilities remain unchanged.
