Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he plans to take to build infrastructure at ports for undertaking customs checks on (a) vehicles and (b) goods coming from the EU from 1 January 2021.

HMRC will continue to engage with port authorities at key border locations to understand the constraints on different sites, and to discuss how to ensure that ports are operationally ready for the end of the transition period.

HMRC will also continue to keep their plans for additional infrastructure under review, depending on what is needed as part of the future trading relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union.
