Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish guidance on the requirement of logistics businesses delivering goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland to provide statistical returns specifying which goods are being transported.

The UK Government and the EU have shared proposals with each other in relation to the Northern Ireland Protocol and are currently in intensive talks. As none of the reported changes or documents published by either party on the Protocol have yet been agreed, existing arrangements will continue for now. This includes some easements for specific businesses and trade sectors. We have published guidance on these existing arrangements and will update this guidance in due course and give operators time to prepare for any changes.
