Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what contribution the HM Revenue and Customs Border Planning Group has made to the Autumn Budget 2017.

The Border Planning Group is a cross-Whitehall group of senior officials set up by Permanent Secretaries. The Border Planning Group’s role is to provide oversight and assurance of departmental plans for border related impacts of leaving the EU. The Border Planning Group does not report to the Chancellor and it has not contributed directly to the Autumn Budget 2017. Some individuals on it will have been involved in the Autumn Budget process.
