Gove: UK government looking at several sites for post-Brexit checks

Britain’s government is looking at several sites in southern England for sites to process post-Brexit checks on lorries ferrying goods to the European Union, cabinet office minister Michael Gove said on Monday.

“It is not the case that any specific site has been absolutely confirmed. We’re in commercial negotiations with a number of sites, and as and when they are confirmed, I will let him know,” Gove told parliament after one lawmaker representing a part of the Kent region asked about reports of a lorry park.

“Some of the infrastructure will be temporary, some will be permanent,” he added.
