Duties of Customs

Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 November 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Duties of Customs.

Indeed, and it might be a growth industry. When I was in Northern Ireland, the people who were taking me around pointed out a number of large homes and suggested that they might have been acquired through not entirely legitimate means. The Government might be reopening that way of doing business. We also know what has happened with regard to common agricultural policy payments, and with cattle or fuel being transferred from one side of the border to the other within a shed. That long-standing problem has the potential to become an even greater one, courtesy of what the Government propose.
