A government insider said the reason for the latest delay is the ‘need to bear down on inflation’
Post-Brexit border checks on animal and plant products from the EU will be delayed again, it has been reported.
The new rules, which had been set to begin from October, will be pushed back again over fears of fuelling inflation, according to the Financial Times.
The regime has been delayed several times. Goods exported from Britain to the EU already undergo full checks.
The “driving force” behind the latest delay is “the need to bear down on inflation”, the Financial Times reported, quoting a government insider.
