question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take when goods being transported to Northern Ireland which have been declared for the Green Lane are checked and are found not to qualify.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL9214
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2023 answer text <p>Trusted traders will face no routine physical checks on their goods moving in the green lane. These will be based purely on risk and intelligence. Where the systems in place to identify illicit movements find that goods are moved illegitimately, there will be a range of possible responses depending on the risks posed. This can include withdrawing access for the trader to the relevant scheme in cases where the scheme is being abused, and could include seizing or returning the goods (in the same way as would have been the case for goods posing particular risks before Brexit).</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/07/2023 16:09:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
