Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the likely effectiveness of the UK Single Trade Window in 2023.

The Single Trade Window will reduce the cost of trade by streamlining interactions with the Government at the border. It will enable traders to meet their import, export and transit-related obligations by submitting information to the Government once and in one place. We will design the Single Trade Window, in accordance with best practice, in full consultation with users of the border.

We will share more information about the delivery schedule of Single Trade Window and its impact on customers at the UK border in due course.
