The government has published legislation which will allow UK ministers to order the construction of border posts at NI ports
.The proposals involve a "green lane" for goods from Great Britain which are staying in Northern Ireland.
Under the government plans GB goods which are staying in NI would enter through the green lane, meaning they would not be subject to routine checks and would have minimal paperwork.Secretary of State may do anything they consider appropriate for the purpose of constructing facilities for performing official controlsIt adds that the secretary of state may direct a competent authority to recruit and employ a sufficient number of suitably qualified staff to carry out checks.
In 2020, before the protocol was implemented, sites for permanent facilities were identified, planning consent was achieved and contractors were appointed - but nothing was built. "However, acting to deliver these facilities is pivotal to securing a viable and sustainable way forward on the protocol in relation to EU-destined goods."The protocol is the post-Brexit arrangement for Northern Ireland agreed by the UK and the European Union .
