Duties of Customs

Proceeding contribution from Damian Collins (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 November 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Duties of Customs.

As the Minister will know, more than 80% of the UK’s freight movement goes through the channel tunnel and the port of Dover. Anything that slows, let alone delays, that processing will cause massive backlogs, and the physical infrastructure is not yet in place to do this. Alongside the Bill he is presenting this evening, does he believe that we need to make sure the resources are there so that whatever is necessary is in place on day one to make sure the physical infrastructure can support cross-channel trade?
