Baroness Crawley – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Crawley on 2016-01-20.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether HMRC are undertaking any other pilots on product authentication other than that with the tobacco industry’s Codentify system; and whether they plan to pilot other systems.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

HMRC is piloting the Codentify system, a product authentication tool that is currently used on tobacco packaging and could help tackle the illicit tobacco market.

HMRC are not piloting any other product authentication systems and currently have no plans to do so.
