Goods shipped to Britain from the EU are to be waved through 20 UK ports without checks in a No Deal scenario to avoid huge jams, HMRC has declared. In official advice released today, HM Revenue & Customs said that “for a temporary period” it would allow “most” shipments into the country before companies have even informed them they’ve arrived.
The loophole was first noticed by Best for Britain who have sounded the alarm.
Responding, Best for Britain champion Geraint Davies MP said:
“They said we would take back control of our borders but now the plan is to wave things through irrespective of our safety.
“We’ll have no idea what is coming into our ports.”
