Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the assessments that the Government has commissioned since the 2016 EU referendum on the effect of additional customs checks at Dover of the UK leaving the EU.

The Government aims to ensure that customs checks at Dover will not disrupt traffic flow, in part by ensuring that declarations are pre-lodged and that checks take place away from the frontier so far as possible. Details of customs checks are a matter for HM Treasury and HMRC.
