‘Backstop’ plan on customs

-

A ‘BACKSTOP’ option of remaining in the customs union beyond 2021 is now on the table, it was claimed last night.

The Brexit ‘war cabinet’ has apparently decided on the measure if the Irish border question is not resolved. Officials have warned the highly complex technology needed to operate the border may not be in place until 2023. This would mean staying in the customs union another two years. No 10 sources denied there would be any such extension.
