Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC has plans to establish further Inland pre-clearance sites in addition to the sites being established in Hayes, Middlesex and Milton Keynes.

As part of the UK’s wider approach to tackling customs fraud HMRC and Border Force perform inland pre-clearance checks targeted at high risk traders. HMRC is moving its inland pre-clearance operations to new purpose-equipped sites at Hayes and Milton Keynes as the contracts on current sites come to an end. The Government will consider the need for further sites as it evolves its approach.
