Chairman's comments
Chair of the Committee, Lord Whitty, said:
“The House of Lords EU Internal Market Committee wants to explore the opportunities, as well as the potential challenges, that Brexit poses to UK transport networks. Customs arrangements have understandably dominated this area of debate, we hope that this inquiry will highlight the wider issues and help to inform Government and public thinking.
"The Committee welcomes submissions to the inquiry, and urges organisations, businesses and individuals to take part in the inquiry."
Timeline
The deadline for written submissions is 14 September 2018. The Committee will hold oral evidence sessions for the inquiry between September and November 2018.
