The Department for Transport is working closely with and supporting the Cabinet Office’s Border and Protocol Delivery Group on delivering the required preparations for the end of the transition period. The Government has committed to spending £470m on new border infrastructure to support ports in building extra capacity to meet the new control requirements where there is space to do so, and, if necessary, to build additional inland sites across the country where checks can take place. The Port Infrastructure Fund will support ports in preparing for any potential disruptions that may occur at the end of the transition period. All ports which submitted bids for the PIF have been informed of the outcome. Holyhead will be served by an HMG-provided inland border controls area.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 23/12/2020 16:27:13 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
