Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on which ports his Department has conducted individual analysis to assess the risks and contingencies required for there being no deal in respect of the UK leaving the EU.

The Department conducted individual analysis of the impact of potential changes to border processes in Member State ports, on traffic at Dover, Holyhead, Grimsby & Immingham, Killingholme, Hull and Portsmouth, as well as the Channel Tunnel terminal. These locations were prioritised following a high-level assessment of international road freight volumes. Advice has been shared with relevant stakeholders to inform contingency planning. This builds on the regular discussions which officials have had with a range of ports across the country.
