Mr. Stephen Kinnock:

On Dover, it is worth adding that the select committee has received a lot of evidence in relation to its inquiry and report on preparedness for Brexit. It is safe to say we have had heard from a lot of representatives of the road haulage industry and other key stakeholders, who have expressed real concerns about, for example, the chief database, the processing, the factor that people will need permits to enter Kent and so on.

As a committee, we have heard a lot of evidence and raised many questions about preparedness in Dover. That will be an issue of some concern going forward.

One matter that we have not touched on much so far is this issue of security. The fact that we will not have access to the Schengen information system, SIS, II database is something that will also have to be resolved. Even if it is not directly resolved in this phase of the negotiations, going into 2021 there could be a lot of discussion around security and the justice and home affairs side of the relationship with the European Union.
