Mr. Cox

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the impact of the abolition of duty free sales within the countries of the European Union on employment in the UK. [99607]

In introducing the legislative framework for the duty free successor regime, the Government promised a post-implementation review after six months. Early next year we will carry out a properly structured evaluation exercise to assess the impact on UK industry.
