Duties of Customs

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

Great Britain’s historical reputation as one of the greatest trading nations on earth can be revived and rejuvenated by Brexit. In freeing ourselves from our EU blinkers, we can now open our eyes to the rest of the world and the vast new opportunities that lie ahead of us. Scotland, as a proud partner in the UK, has played a crucial role in cementing Britain’s place as a truly great trading nation. The city of Glasgow was a key trading centre for the

UK and acted as an international business hub. For the past 40 years, the UK has legally been forbidden from striking its own trade deals.
