A tunnel between Northern Ireland and Great Britain is among the proposals being looked at by ministers as part of a wide-ranging review of connectivity within the UK, the transport secretary has confirmed.
Grant Shapps said the government was considering building a bridge or tunnel between Scotland and the island of Ireland.
“One of the elements in that review is should we have some sort of fixed connection – that could be a tunnel, it could be a bridge – between, for example, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which is the closest crossing,” he told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday.
Border delays could force Germany s car plants to close CNN 2/16/2021 By Charles Riley and Claudia Otto, CNN Business © Armin Weigel/picture alliance/Getty Images Trucks are stuck in a traffic jam near the German-Czech border.
The carmakers at the heart of Germany s huge manufacturing industry are facing a new threat: border checks that could delay crucial parts deliveries and force their factories to close.
Truck drivers have experienced lengthy delays after Germany introduced stronger Covid-19 checks and immigration rules at its borders with Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia on Sunday in an attempt to prevent new variants of the virus entering the country. That is putting vital supply chains at risk.
UK importers brace for disaster as new Brexit customs checks loom Joanna Partridge © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Philippe Huguen/AFP/Getty Images
British firms are warning of an escalation in Brexit red tape as the government prepares to introduce a long list of new controls on imports from the European Union in April and July.
In the coming months further checks are due to be phased in at the UK border, controlling everything from the import of sausages and live mussels to horses and trees, as well as the locations these checks can take place.
One logistics firm warned the situation had “disaster written all over it”, saying businesses need more time to prepare, while accountancy firm KPMG said some of the “biggest headaches” facing traders are yet to come. Importers fear UK customs are not ready for the new controls, and that logjams at points of entry could cause fruit and vegetable shortages in the spring.
