Sailing Boats

Norman Baker: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the number of yacht movements between non-EU ports and the UK in the latest year for which figures are available; and how many reports were logged in respect of such movements over the same period. [128519]

Dawn Primarolo: Whether or not the crew of a yacht needs to notify HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) of its arrival depends on its last port of call. If arriving directly from an EU member state, the crew of a yacht need only contact HMRC if they have goods to declare. When arriving direct from a country outside the EU (the Channel Islands are regarded as outside the EU for this purpose), the crew must notify HMRC if any of the following criteria apply:

In the year to 15 March 2007 we were advised of 166 inbound yacht movements. HMRC has no further figures relating to such movements.
