Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what international obligations under the new Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol will require firms exporting goods from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK to submit exit summary declarations.

The deal will allow the Government to maintain unfettered access for goods moving from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK. It may be that, owing to the World Customs Organization’s SAFE framework, exports from Northern Ireland to the rest of the United Kingdom will need to submit exit summary declarations for safety and security purposes, after the implementation period.
