Import check unreadiness at EFRA Select Committee

Barry was at the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee who were focussing on import check readiness post Brexit and the effect it has had on supply chains across the sector.

Barry started his grilling by asking industry experts why one third of traders responding to HMRC said it was very easy to find information on gov.uk on changes to the process of moving goods from the UK to the EU in which it was admitted there had been problems.

In the second half the Secretary of State, George Eustice was present to be questioned and Barry asked if he agreed with the Chief Executive of the British Ports Association that the issue in delays were this side of the channel and that we were not ready. Mr Eustice disagreed much to the Committees displeasure.
