- The UK government is expected to announce a further delay to post-Brexit border controls on animal and plant products coming from the EU, due to concerns that additional bureaucracy on imported goods will fuel inflation.
- The new import regime at Britain’s ports, which had been due to start in October, is also intended to give companies and port operators more time to implement the arrangements.
- The decision comes ahead of a meeting of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee on Thursday, which is grappling with persistently high inflation.
- There have been repeated delays to the introduction of a post-Brexit border control regime for goods entering the UK from the EU. British exports to the EU are already subject to full checks.
