Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an assessment of the state of readiness of Holyhead and Pembroke docks to enforce custom checks in the event that the UK does not agree a deal with the European Union.

The Government is clear that the UK’s future customs arrangements should be as frictionless as possible, ensuring the continued free flow of trade at all UK borders, including Holyhead and Pembroke docks. The Government has engaged with a large number of businesses, ports, airports and other organisations across the UK, including from Wales, to support the smooth and orderly implementation of any new arrangements.
