We will continue to support business readiness throughout the implementation of checks and take a sensible pragmatic approach to enforcement.</p><p>The government’s consumer food price inflation model for the BTOM included an assessment of policy measures likely to affect the cost and/or quantity of traded products, including the Government-run BCP operating costs that will be recovered via a Common User Charge. Estimates of the cost and impact of the Charge were included in the modelling of the inflationary impact of the BTOM and we stand by these estimates.</p><p>This data includes a mix of published and unpublished commercially sensitive data sources. To publish only a partial picture of that data would not be in keeping with statistical propriety.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe grouped question UIN HL4004 HL4005 question first answered 07/05/2024 16:09:08 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
