Michael Gove tells haulage firms to allow for two-day delays as part of worst-case planning
Ministers have warned of 7,000 truck-long queues in Kent after the Brexit transition period ends as a worst-case scenario if hauliers fail to prepare for changes to customs rules.
The cabinet office minister, Michael Gove, who is responsible for no-deal planning, has written to logistics groups with the government’s “reasonable worst-case scenario” planning, which warns of possible two-day delays for cargo travelling to France in January.
