Question

What progress the Government have made on border planning for the end of the transition period. What support will the Government provide to business ahead of those new processes taking effect in order to help with the transition?

Answer from The Minister for Implementation, Michael Gove

On Monday, I made an oral statement to this House announcing the publication of the Government's detailed border operating model following extensive consultation. We have also allocated £705 million for upgraded border systems and infrastructure and launched a new communications campaign. To support businesses ahead of these changes, we have dedicated £84 million to ensure customs intermediaries are available for all businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations.
