The Home Secretary is aware of these figures and his department is closely involved in the cross-government development of future customs models, including their operational requirements.

The Home Office is working closely with other Government Departments on the detailed logistical and operational planning for managing all the impacts of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, on and at the border. Cross-government preparations for EU exit at the border are being coordinated by the Border Delivery Group.
