Asked by: John Hayes (Conservative - South Holland and The Deepings)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has had recent discussions with the National Crime Agency on tackling the illicit tobacco trade.
Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)
Tackling the illicit tobacco trade is the responsibility of HMRC and Border Force, who carry out enforcement activity throughout the illicit supply chain and are supported at retail level by Trading Standards.
Last year this enforcement activity resulted in the seizure of over 1.3 billion cigarettes and 92 tonnes of hand rolling tobacco as well as 194 arrests and 107 convictions.
HMRC work closely with a range of law enforcement partners, including the National Crime Agency, to support each other in tackling organised crime.

Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has had recent discussions with HMRC on tackling the illicit tobacco trade.
Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)
There have been, and will continue to be, discussions between HMT Ministers and HMRC officials on a range of issues including tackling the illicit tobacco trade.
The government is committed to tackling illicit tobacco which has significant negative impacts on the economy, public health, legitimate businesses, and overall public safety. It cheats the Exchequer of revenues and blunts the effectiveness of tobacco duty as a tool to reduce smoking.
