Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 July 2018. It occurred during Debate on bill on Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill.


Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill

That is really flipped logic. The hon. Gentleman is effectively saying, “They do not have to do the checks because they can all just pay the tariffs.” Why on earth are we going through this whole process in the first place if all we are going to get is a tiny reduction in tariffs that no one will take advantage of in order to get any benefits?
