The Government\u2019s concern has been to ensure that the infrastructure required to facilitate trade are in place, while respecting the discretion of port operators and other stakeholders to make decisions on a commercial basis about the use of their infrastructure and facilities.<\/p>
<\/p>
We recognise that ports are in the best position to determine how to utilise facilities which meet the standards required for checks to be undertaken. Where any port has more capacity for checks than required under the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM), they are free to put their facilities to alternative use, provided they retain sufficient capacity to conduct the volume of checks required under the BTOM.<\/p>
<\/p>
One of the reasons for not introducing the checks on EU imports in July 2023 was so that we could introduce a simplified, risk-based and data-driven regime of checks on goods that applies equally to EU and \u2018rest of the world\u2019 goods. Facilities for checks and controls can therefore be used flexibly for any imported goods, regardless of origin.<\/p>
<\/p>
The BTOM sets outs out a risk-based, proportionate regime of controls which assesses the inherent biosecurity or public health risk presented by an import, together with the prevalence of relevant pests and diseases and our confidence in the exporting country\u2019s production standards and health controls.<\/p>
<\/p>
This assessment allows us to set controls at the most appropriate level and focus on the areas of highest risk to the UK. The goods posing the highest biosecurity risk are being prioritised as we build up to full check rates and high levels of compliance.<\/p>"}

A key outcome of the government\u2019s clean energy mission will be greater energy security and independence. The government recognises that oil and gas production in the North Sea will continue to play a role in our energy mix for decades to come. The government will achieve a phased and responsible transition by taking a proportionate approach that ensures the oil and gas sector continues to play a role whilst contributing more towards our clean energy transition.<\/p>

The Government is committed to protecting access to cash for individuals and businesses. The Financial Conduct Authority is the regulator responsible for access to cash further to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, with powers to seek to ensure the reasonable provision of cash withdrawal and deposit facilities for individuals and businesses, including free withdrawal services for individuals.<\/p>
The FCA published its final rules on access to cash on 24 July. Under its rules, designated firms will be required to undertake assessments of a community\u2019s cash needs following the closure of a service or a community request, and to put in a new service if necessary. These rules come into force on 18 September.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government also recognises the importance of banking services to communities and high streets and has committed to work closely with the banks to roll out 350 banking hubs over the next five years.<\/p>"}
