Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister (in respect of his Brexit Minister responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 2:27 pm on 13 February 2019.
Thank you very much. I’ve been on the HMRC website today, looking at what would happen in terms of customs arrangements if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal. It’s incredibly complex. It starts by explaining that simplified customs procedures are what is set out. There is nothing simple about this, and, of course, there’s a way of keeping it simple, and that’s to remain within the customs union and the single market. But what steps will the Welsh Government take in a 'no deal' scenario to collaborate with HMRC to ensure that the port of Holyhead doesn’t come to a stop?
