Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether goods moving between Northern Ireland and Great Britain will be subject to customs inspections once the UK has fully withdrawn from the EU.

Under the UK’s Withdrawal Agreement, Northern Ireland remains part of the UK’s customs territory. As set out in the New Decade, New Approach deal, the Government has committed to legislate to guarantee unfettered access for Northern Ireland’s businesses to the whole of the UK internal market and to ensure that this legislation is in force for 1 January 2021. The arrangements that the Government introduces will reflect this approach and the Government will set out more detail in due course.
