‘Horrendous and chaotic’ border checks will increase food prices, ministers hear
“Horrendous and chaotic” plans for border checks will see price increases on food passed onto consumers, ministers have been warned.
Goods from Britain have faced EU controls since it left the bloc’s single market at the start of 2021, with the UK Government introducing new requirements for animal and plant products coming from the other direction.
From 30 April, physical, documentary and identity checks at the border are scheduled to be required for medium-risk animal products, plants and plant products imported to the UK
