Question

What steps the Government is taking to prepare ports for trade with the EU after the end of the transition period?

Answer from Penny Mordaunt (Minister)

We have created a £200 million port infrastructure fund to provide financing support directly to ports. Furthermore, in July, to help the whole of the border industry prepare, we published a border-operating model for the border. An update will be published shortly, providing further details on policies and processes for the end of the transition period.
