British ports are set for £700m upgrade with more guards and high-tech scanners

Michael Gove said our ports will become the ‘most secure in the world’

Britain takes back control in 172 days and Cabinet Office supremo Michael Gove said work on the overhaul will start now “with or without further agreement with the EU”.

Critics say UK borders are porous but Mr Gove said the changes will make them the most secure in the world within four years. The Government has bought 27 acres of land 20 miles from Dover to build a huge new customs clearance centre for the 10,000 lorries a day arriving from Europe.

Across the UK, £470million will be used to build port and inland infrastructure so new procedures can be enforced.

Mr Gove said: “We are taking back control of our borders. This £705million will ensure that the necessary infrastructure, tech and border personnel are in place.” 

Home Secretary Priti Patel will on Monday send a clear message to the world that Britain is ready to welcome the best and brightest global talent when the Brexit process is completed. Ms Patel will say: “The British people voted to take back control of our borders and introduce a new points-based immigration system.

“Now we have left the EU, we are free to unleash this country’s full potential and implement the changes we need to restore trust in the immigration system and deliver a new fairer, firmer, skills-led system from 1 January 2021.

“Britain is open for business and ready to welcome the best and brightest global talent.”
