That is helpful. Thank you.

Why is a reduced fee per consignment being proposed for those imports that are eligible for a reduced level of physical checks?

Finally, going back to what might be a drafting error, it would be useful to know whether the error relating to the 30 per cent frequency is in the UK draft. Before we give consent, can you let us know how that will be addressed? Ultimately, if the legislation is passed, the 30 per cent figure will stand. How will that be rectified if that is a drafting error?

Finally, is the committee content to delegate authority to me to sign off our report on our deliberations on this affirmative SSI?

Members indicated agreement.

We have a final brief supplementary question from Rachael Hamilton.
