Further to the comments of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster on 23 September 2020, the 'Check an HGV is ready to cross the border' service is being developed in accordance with the rigorous standards applied to the development of any digital Government service. This includes consultation and engagement with users as well as internal testing. The service has passed successfully into the \u201cbeta\u201d phase and is now being subjected to operational testing with users, including businesses. It is on schedule to be ready for December 2020.<\/p>

On 12 July, the Government announced a funding package in 20/21 for border infrastructure, staffing and IT to ensure GB border systems are fully operational when the UK takes back control of its border after the end of the transition period.<\/p>

A breakdown will be provided, port by port and region by region, in due course.<\/p>

Treasury ministers and officials meet with a wide range of stakeholders across the public and private sector as part of policy development and implementation.<\/p>

The fiscal impact of changes related to the UK leaving the EU will depend on the outcome of the negotiations.<\/p>

The Government is clear that the UK\u2019s future customs arrangements should be as frictionless as possible, ensuring that traffic continues to flow freely at all UK ports and airports, including Holyhead. HMRC is working with other government departments sharing responsibility for maintaining the flow of trade through our borders to mitigate the risk of delays relating to EU exit. HMRC has engaged with a large number of businesses, ports, airports and other organisations across the UK, including from Wales, to understand what may impact them in future and to support the smooth and orderly implementation of any new arrangements.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3935", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mel Stride"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Central Devon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mel Stride"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-06T12:13:50.65Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Holyhead Port: Customs"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government has made an estimate of the cost to the public purse of introducing customs checks at Holyhead Port; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1397", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Hywel Williams"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Arfon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Hywel Williams"} ], "uin" : "110051"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/778299", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Wales Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/778299/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The port at Holyhead is vital to the economy of north Wales, and acts as an important link between the Republic of Ireland and the UK. A number of UK Government ministers, including the Minister for Security and I, have visited Holyhead to discuss the impact of EU Exit on the port. The UK Government Minister for Wales has also met with Irish Ferries.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to ensuring that withdrawal from the EU is a successful and smooth process for all parts of the UK, and we are conscious that a significant proportion of the traffic at some ports is not currently subject to customs controls. We want to ensure that traffic continues to flow freely at all UK ports and airports, including Holyhead, and we will seek to ensure that customs arrangements and mechanisms are as frictionless as possible, and that trade fluidity is maintained. Officials in the Wales Office and colleagues across Government are working with port operators and other stakeholders in Wales to support the smooth and orderly implementation of these new arrangements.<\/p>

<\/p>

Responsibility for roads in Wales is devolved to the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government.<\/p>
