The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the Government has plans to use Dover Bastion Point as part of the Border Target Operating Model.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The site at Bastion Point is currently retained in a non-operational state. The Government will explore further options for the site in the future.

Defra continues to monitor and review the impact of the Border Target Operating Model. We work closely with industry, trade partners and enforcement agencies to minimise disruption and costs to trade, while continuing to protect our biosecurity.
