I am extremely grateful to the Minister for saying that he will do that. ““General customs matters”” do not seem to be revenue matters, which is where we get into difficulty as to what we are talking about. Since everything comes from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, there are two tranches to it. In this part of the Bill, the ““general customs matters”” seem to relate to the duties of the customs officers in their guise as Customs. Later parts of the Bill relate to the revenue aspects which are being passed down, which I presume are separate. They will then be amalgamated into one when those officials become all-singing and all-dancing. In the interests of clarity, please may we know the revenue powers that are being passed down from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs and the general customs powers, because I suspect that they are different and are two separate streams?
