The Archbishop of Canterbury received the following written answer on 2nd February 2021:
The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury asked Her Majesty’s Government why they did not approve the application by the Port of Dover for funding to double the capacity for passport checks by the government of France at that port.
Lord True (Cabinet Office): Allocations from the Port Infrastructure Fund (PIF) have been published at gov.uk. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/port-infrastructure-fund-allocations/port-infrastructure-fund-successful-applicants(opens in a new tab)).
The criteria for awarding grants were set out in the PIF Prospectus. The scope of the PIF concentrated on infrastructure necessary to support GB-EU trade and the Border Operating Model, rather than the movement of people.
