Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
What support he is providing to help businesses in Scotland prepare for the introduction of import controls on EU goods from 2021.
We are working with the Scottish Government to ensure businesses can take full advantage of the new opportunities presented in January 2021.
We have provided over £130 million to the Scottish Government in EU exit allocations, and through HMRC’s customs grant scheme, £34 million has been made available to UK businesses to support trader readiness.
