Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the value for money of the funding provided for border control posts.

The primary objective of the Port Infrastructure Fund was to assess and identify the projects that best ensure that the UK’s borders can more fully facilitate EU trade. In assessing the value for money, amongst other factors, the Government took into consideration the level of benefits the project is expected to deliver in terms of avoiding trade disruption and other areas.
