From the Government own report


The Committee understands that Defra funding for these spot checks at the Port of Dover will soon be reduced by around 70% and cites the Dover Port Health Authority’s comments that the cuts in funding “will have a catastrophic effect” on biosecurity. Dover Port Health Authority has publicly called upon Defra to abandon its plans to cut the budget for products of animal origin (POAO) spot checks.

The second major cause for concern to the Committee is the new border control post coming into operation at Sevington, 22 miles from the point of entry at Dover.

The letter raises the issue that the border control post at Sevington will require vehicles to travel 22 miles unsupervised across Kent, presenting potentially serious biosecurity risks, and also compromising compliance. The Committee understands that drivers will be under no obligation to go to Sevington, if asked to do so.

SO TRUCKS WILL ENTER DOVER AND THEN TRAVEL 22 MILES INLAND UNSUPERVISED.
 
It's saving money and taking back control what's not to like.
 
Would they not come under surveillance, be a surprise if theyre not given the amount of surveillance that goes on this country.
 
Have a look at the thread already ongoing and find out. The OP was mentioned in there somewhere.
 
I was thinking more of the 22 mile drive and they decide to do a runner.
The scandal of trying to do it on the cheap doesn't come as a surprise.

Seemingly they are allowed to. They don't have to go for checks if they don't want to.

That's where they should have some explaining to do when patrols in the area are set up to deal with such an incidence.
The message should get round that your lorry will be inspected if you try such a maneuver.

More unnecessary Brexit expense.

This again goes back to do you want standards and pay the price.
Half a billion is a small price to pay when you see how much money is wasted on keeping the old boys network going among governments and councils.

Or do you want the standards and not pay any extras, as it was before we left.

The point is they don't have to go and can't be forced.
