Against a background of uncertainty regarding when Brexit negotiations will begin, the British International Freight Association (Bifa) has called on the government to act swiftly on its manifesto pledge - to invest £40 billion in transport infrastructure improvements, and expand Heathrow.
“Those are not Brexit-dependent matters and would be very useful for the Bifa members who manage the movement of goods within domestic and international supply chains,” said Bifa director general Robert Keen.
“So my advice is stop the procrastinating and make sure that the Queens Speech, whenever it is delivered, includes details about both the transport infrastructure improvements and the expansion of UK aviation capacity.
“On Brexit, what I will say is that Bifa members are pragmatic problem solvers so whatever is eventually designed to facilitate movement of goods between the UK and the EU post Brexit, they will be ready to do their utmost to try to ensure that visible trade is fluid at the borders.”
