answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2020 answer text <p>The Department for Transport (DfT) has made its own estimates of the potential for disruption around key ports at the end of the transition period. In the case of Portsmouth Port the DfT estimates suggest that even under a reasonable worst case scenario queues of HGVs attempting to enter Portsmouth Port would be considerably lower than the 480 referenced in the question. Nevertheless, there remains a risk of disruption at several ports, including Portsmouth, at the end of transition period. The Department for Transport is working closely with Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) across the country, including the Hampshire and Isle of Wight LRF, as they develop locally appropriate plans to manage any potential disruption.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 28/10/2020 17:01:34 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
