Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to undertake test exercises at UK ports to ensure the preparedness of those ports in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

The Government has undertaken a comprehensive programme of work to promote preparedness in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal, which is continuously reviewed and updated to adapt and reflect to changing priorities. This has included advice to hauliers and shippers on border readiness. No further test exercises are planned between now and 31 October.
