It is essential that Defra thoroughly reviews the implementation of the BTOM. Defra should commit to this review in its response to our Report, and the review must be published no later than January 2026. It should set out why and how much variation in inspection rates is occurring between ports of entry, and how often auto clearance mechanisms are being used and the reasons for this. In its response to this Report, the Government should commit to the publication of quarterly inspection rates for all ports of entry, beginning January 2026, and to publishing historic quarterly inspection rates. (Recommendation, Paragraph 9)
