Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment HMRC has made of the potential safety risks for staff working near the border with the Irish Republic in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

HMRC treat the safety and security of their employees with the utmost importance and although HMRC will not have people based at the border, there will be some who live and work nearby. HMRC are refreshing their impact assessments as regards people and estates security, and are providing bespoke support to those in Northern Ireland to maintain their safety and security. This includes specialist advisers reviewing Health and Safety risk assessments for operations in Northern Ireland.
