Britain said it decided to delay imposing its full post-Brexit import controls to avoid adding more fuel to fast-rising inflation
Britain has delayed imposing its full post-Brexit import controls on goods from the European Union again, pushing it back until the end of next year, saying it did not want to add more fuel to fast-rising inflation.
“It’s vital that we have the right import controls regime in place, so we’ll now be working with industry to review these remaining controls so that they best suit the UK’s own interests,” said Jacob Rees-Mogg, Britain’s minister for Brexit opportunities.
“It is extraordinary that imports into the U.K. are being favoured over U.K. exports to the EU and this just highlights the barriers to trade that have been put in place by their threadbare Brexit deal,” Benn said.British inflation hit a 30-year high of 7.0 per cent in March and is set to climb higher in the coming months, leaving households facing the biggest loss of income since at least the 1950s, according to the government’s budget forecasters.
