We want to ensure that traders, intermediaries and freight forwarders can continue to move goods through ports as quickly and seamlessly as they do now. We have set up a Border Delivery Group to bring together individual departmental plans, forming an overall picture and plan of what we need to do at borders.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/07/2018 11:08:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
