question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what has been the total cost so far of setting up (1) the UK Internal Market Scheme, and (2) the Trader Support Service.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL10365
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2023 answer text <p>(1) The UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS) will replace the UK Trader Scheme (UKTS) on 30 September 2023. The launch of the UKIMS is an operational activity and delivered through resources in place to manage the UKTS</p><p> </p><p>(2) The total cost of setting up and running TSS (August 2020-August 2023) is £411.6m. The TSS cost figures quoted do not include any HMRC operational spend on UKIMS, however they may include some spend on the TSS's own readiness activities for UKIMS.</p><p>We are not able to provide a figure for spend on UKIMS because we do not hold the information at that granular level, where the scheme has been delivered as part of a wider programme of work. For example, operational staff will be trained to work on UKIMS as well as other related areas and trying to estimate exact cost could lead to inaccuracies in reporting.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 04/10/2023 13:25:37 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL10367
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2023 answer text <p>There is usually no requirement for authorisations or customs declarations for goods being moved between locations within Great Britain. In certain circumstances customs formalities may be required for movements between two locations in GB, for example non-domestic goods that have been imported but are not yet released into the UK market.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, where a business moves goods within GB, it is likely to have to provide ordinary commercial information about what is being moved to any courier, haulier or parcel operator contracted to move the goods, which could include, for example, a description of the goods, their value and their destination.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 04/10/2023 13:25:16 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what level of responsibility hauliers have in ensuring that commodity codes are correct on consignments going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL9213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2023 answer text <p>When fully implemented from 30 September 2024, the new Windsor Framework arrangements will remove the need to provide a commodity code for each movement of goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, for traders who are part of the UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS). Instead, traders will be able to provide a simple goods description to the Trader Support Service (TSS) or their customs agent.</p><p> </p><p>When making a goods movement, most traders will provide data about the movement either to their haulier or directly to the TSS or their customs agent, who will submit the required data to HMRC. The trader will be responsible for ensuring that this data is correct. It is a commercial choice for the parties involved whether they make further contractual arrangements to manage liability.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 21/07/2023 08:52:24 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Penn (HL5751), for what reasons they consider that introducing duty free at airports in Northern Ireland for passengers flying to the EU would undermine their commitment to maintaining frictionless trade.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL9109
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2023 answer text <p>Introducing duty free shopping between Northern Ireland and the EU (which includes the Republic of Ireland) would require implementing allowances for the movement of these goods, to stop the uncontrolled flow of tax-free goods into either Northern Ireland or the EU (including the Republic of Ireland). These allowances would require enforcement. Therefore, if this were to be implemented, controls on the movement of goods between NI and the Republic of Ireland would be required, contravening the shared ambitions of the UK, Ireland and the EU.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 19/07/2023 10:38:51 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL8829
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework safeguards parcel movements and maintains business as usual for Northern Ireland consumers, removing any need for international customs processes. That means parcels can be sent to friends and family in Northern Ireland, as smoothly as today. People in Northern Ireland ordering from businesses in the rest of the UK will continue to order and receive goods as they do now; and parcels sent between businesses will be able to use the same internal market scheme as applies for freight movements.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 06/07/2023 11:26:24 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
