	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2017 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) consultation ‘Tobacco Illicit Trade Protocol – licensing of equipment and the supply chain’ sought views on two aspects of the Protocol. These were the mandatory licensing of tobacco manufacturing machinery and the potential licensing of participants in the supply chain of tobacco products for the purposes of tackling the illict trade.</p><p> </p><p>A response document on the licensing of tobacco manufacturing machinery was published on 5 December 2016 and draft legislation was published at the same time.</p><p> </p><p>Licensing of the supply chain is more complex and could affect a large number of UK businesses. Therefore, while HMRC is in a position to proceed to implementation of the licensing of machinery, supply chain licensing requires further consideration. A response document covering this aspect of the consultation will be published later in the year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 13/02/2017 15:27:29 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

HMRC plans to launch the formal consultation later this year.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 03/02/2017 11:46:00 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
