As the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, mentioned, it is the level of confusion. Some £650 million has been spent in the last four years on the Trader Support Service and the Movement Assistance Scheme—£650 million, at a time when we are told that there is no money for anything. That £650 million would buy an awful lot of nurses, hospitals and teachers in Northern Ireland, but it is spent instead on officials trying to process customs forms.
