Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what additional resources he will make available to improve the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system.

HMRC test the performance of CHIEF continuously and have already invested heavily to ensure the system continues to meet the needs of UK trade. Additional resources are assigned to further increase system capacity by the end of staged customs controls in July and to support sustainment of the system for as long as it is required.
