Mr Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme, Labour)
I understand that some of that activity was centred on Stoke-on-Trent, which borders my constituency of Newcastle-under-Lyme. I particularly welcomed the Chancellor's commitment to regionalism in the Budget statement. Have my hon. Friend the Minister and my right hon. Friend the Paymaster General considered relocating Customs and Excise to Stoke-on-Trent, so that we could benefit from a Government Department and cut down on VAT fraud?
