Import Controls: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how much money has been allocated for the construction of border inspection posts in Northern Ireland.

Answer

The construction of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Inspection Facilities in Northern Ireland is supported by an agreed business case which provides a funding envelope of up to a maximum of £192.3 million. This figure is just an envelope and is not guaranteed as the department always aspires to come in under budget.
