In an annex included in the response to this Report, Defra should provide us with the August and November 2024 figures relating to the number of lorries that were directed to Sevington Inland BCP for border checks and the number of lorries that present themselves to the BCP for inspection in that same month. This would allow the committee to scrutinise compliance levels without jeopardising the dynamic nature of intelligence-led biosecurity controls. The Government should also outline what specific process it will implement to validate that goods re-exported following inspections at Sevington Inland BCP do in fact leave the UK. This process should include mechanisms for tracking consignments post-inspection and verifying their departure from UK territory, with appropriate documentation and oversight to ensure compliance. Defra should also provide, in its response to this Report, its assessment of the potential merits of creating a legal mechanism to ensure lorries transporting animal and plant products are commercially sealed.
