	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>To date HM Treasury and HMRC have laid 54 and 48 EU Exit Statutory Instruments (SIs), and both departments are confident of delivering essential legislation in time for Exit day. Our objective has always been to have a functioning statute book in place by Exit day and to ensure that the most critical secondary legislation was made by this point.</p><p> </p><p>Across the two departments, a small number of SIs will come into force after Exit day; this was planned due to the fact that these SIs make minor technical amendments to earlier EU Exit legislation and were therefore not required to be in place by Exit day.</p><p> </p><p>The laying of EU Exit SIs allows Parliament to fulfil its essential scrutiny role. The exact nature of this scrutiny, and the steps required before an SI completes its passage, is dependent on the type of SI.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 11/04/2019 15:27:09 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>The Tobacco Products (Traceability and Security Features) Regulations 2019 include sanctions for non-compliance with the track and trace scheme. This includes the power to seize non-compliant tobacco products and deactivate an Economic Operator’s ID Code.</p><p> </p><p>From 20 May 2019, businesses will be unable to legally buy or sell tobacco products without a valid ID Code. These sanctions will help protect legitimate business from rogue operators selling illicit tobacco products.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC recognises that businesses will need time to become familiar with the new arrangements. During the 12-month sell through period, HMRC will support businesses to understand their obligations, and engage with other enforcement agencies, including Border Force and Trading Standards, to ensure effective and proportionate enforcement of the regulations.</p><p> </p><p>De La Rue (the UK’s appointed ID issuer) published details of the registration process and general guidance on 25 March 2019. The registration process will open on 23 April for manufacturers and large retailers, and on 30 April for all other businesses. This will help to stagger the registration process and facilitate the registration of businesses by the deadline of 20 May 2019.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/04/2019 13:07:13 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
