Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to increase the capacity of the HM Revenue Customs (HMRC) in customs regulations and procedures in the next twelve months; and where HMRC has advertised additional posts?

HMRC continues to consider staffing requirements, including for customs regulations and procedures, as part of its planning for EU Exit. HMRC is considering a number of resourcing options including redeployment of existing staff and use of existing reserve lists to fill additional posts as part of that process. Recruitment to the Civil Service typically involves advertisement on Civil Service Jobs.
