Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress has been made on the introduction of the new Customs Declaration Service; when he plans for that service to be fully functional; and if he will make a statement.

The delivery of the new Customs Declaration Service is on target, and HM Revenue and Customs expects to meet its planned delivery date in January 2019. The progress of the programme is subject to rigorous and ongoing internal scrutiny.
