answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The government does not want or expect a no deal outcome. In any scenario, the government’s objective is to ensure that movement through ports is as frictionless as possible.</p><p>In the unlikely event we do not reach an agreement with the EU, HMRC will continue to apply an automated, risk-based approach to customs checks. This means any increase in the number of checks will be kept to a minimum. For passengers travelling to the UK from Calais, Border Force will continue to carry out security and identity checks on 100 per cent of passengers. While the EU may choose to impose third country controls it is not clear how soon these would come into effect.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 08/11/2018 13:21:33 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
