Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Peter Dowd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right on that point.

What is concerning is the fact that UK manufacturers and key industries have not been consulted on the trade remedies in the Bill. Perhaps the Minister can explain why, if the Prime Minister is happy to meet representatives from Toyota to agree a deal and the Environment Secretary is in regular contact with the National Farmers Union on future agricultural subsidies, he has failed to consult an industry that represents nearly 10% of the economy and employs millions on the trade remedies it needs to protect UK jobs?
