Horticulture: Import Controls
Asked by: John Lamont (Conservative - Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk) Tuesday 1st April 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that (a) the border target operating model and (b) border control posts are adequately (i) resourced and (ii) equipped to ensure horticulture growers can import the required plant products to meet demand. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Checks at border control posts are handled by trained staff working to standard operating procedures, ensuring inspections are undertaken safely and efficiently. The Animal Plant and Health Agency plant health import inspection process is accredited to the ISO 17020 Inspection Standard which is subject to external audits from the UK Accreditation Service.
Inspectors are rigorously trained and are equipped to ensure sanitary and phytosanitary goods are handled safely and with care.
GB plant health services have significantly increased the number of plant health inspection staff to service the demand for import checks in England and Wales of EU plants and plant products. Inspector levels are being monitored to ensure these meet demand and ensure minimal trade disruption. |
Horticulture: Import Controls
Asked by: John Lamont (Conservative - Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk) Wednesday 2nd April 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of import controls on horticulture businesses; and whether he plans to consider this impact in the context of proposals to amend plant health fees. Answered by Daniel Zeichner - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Defra’s approach has been to design a modern border with a simplified but effective system of biosecurity controls to contribute to economic growth, minimising friction at the border, administrative burden to traders, and additional costs to consumers while maintaining or improving biosecurity. Our import controls are a critical element of any biosecurity system.
We also appreciate the importance of timeliness in imports. To this end checks at Border Control Posts are handled by trained staff working to standard operating procedures, ensuring inspections are undertaken safely and efficiently. The Animal and Plant Health Agency’s (APHA) plant health import inspection process is accredited to the ISO 17020 Inspection Standard which is subject to external audits from the UK Accreditation Service. Inspectors are rigorously trained and are equipped to ensure sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) goods are handled safely and with care.
GB plant health services have significantly increased the number of plant health inspection staff to service the demand for import checks in England and Wales of EU plants and plant products. Inspector levels are being monitored to ensure these meet demand and deliver checks in line with set Service Level Agreements and ensure minimal trade disruption.
We are committed to reducing barriers to trade and cutting red tape by striking a fair balance between industry and biosecurity and will seek to negotiate an agreement with the EU to achieve this. Our aim is to negotiate a SPS agreement with the EU which could help to cut red tape and costs at our borders whilst maintaining a high standard of safety and security for eligible imports entering the UK through the short straits.
The Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) has been developed following extensive engagement with businesses across the UK, points of entry, enforcement agencies and with the Scottish and Welsh Devolved Governments. Defra continues to monitor and review the impact of the BTOM. We continue working closely with industry, trade partners and enforcement agencies to minimise disruption and costs to trade, while continuing to protect our biosecurity.
The consultation on proposed increases to APHA plant health fees closed on 21 March 2025 and we are analysing the responses. We plan to respond to the consultation feedback in the spring. |

Select Committee Inquiry |
---|
7 Apr 2025
The work of the UK Statistics Authority Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 12 May 2025) The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee will examine the performance of the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), and its two executive offices, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). In light of recent debate and discussion about the efficacy of the UK’s employment figures, Committee members will explore whether issues with ONS’s Labour Force Survey are an anomaly, or whether issues with the organisation’s performance run deeper. In doing so, MPs will scrutinise some of ONS’s most important programmes: the Transformed Labour Force Survey, Integrated Data Service, and its reimagining of the traditional Census. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |
