Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made regarding whether the third stage of the Border Operating Model is on schedule to operate effectively and efficiently and without causing disruption; and what representations they have received from businesses on the third stage commencement and implementation of the Border Operating Model.

The UK currently applies a waiver for goods coming from the EU from Safety & Security (ENS) declarations. The Government will provide an update in due course on the plans for safety and security requirements and HMRC will carry out technical engagement accordingly.
