Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Livermore on 25 February (HL Deb col 1567), on what basis they calculated that the Brexit deal created new trade barriers on businesses equivalent to a 13 per cent increase in tariffs for manufacturing, and 20 per cent for services.
