Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill

I will not give way, no. [Hon. Members: “Give way!”] I have a lot to cover, and I will not give way.

Amendment 72, tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Harwich and North Essex (Sir Bernard Jenkin), seeks to ensure that clause 31 cannot be used to form a customs union between the UK and the EU without primary legislation. As I have set out, the Government have been clear that as we leave the European Union, we will also leave the EU’s customs union, so the Government have no objection to this enhanced level of Parliamentary security—[Interruption.] I have four minutes remaining, but I will take one intervention if it is brief.
