Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether it plans to publish any data on the Common User Charge including values invoiced and collected; and any data on operating costs for the Sevington Border Control Post.

While we recognise the importance of sanitary and phytosanitary checks on certain imports, this Government is also committed to reducing unnecessary barriers to trade and cutting red tape by striking a fair balance between business and biosecurity.

As such we are reviewing the current border controls brought into place on 30 April under the previous Government.

Information about the common user charge can be found on here. We will publish further information in due course on the charge.
