Question

What is the total projected cost to the Welsh Government of constructing and operating the border control post at Holyhead port?

Answer

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language

The current total projected cost is £87.6m. The UK Government has provided £53.5m towards these costs up to 2025-26 which have been assessed by previous UK Treasury decisions as necessary for the build. We are currently in discussions with UK Treasury around the remaining costs for operation.

The projected cost assumes that, after a short transitional period, all operational costs can be met from charges.
