Outlining a "reasonable worst-case scenario," senior minister Michael Gove said the government remained committed to a deal with the EU but urged businesses to prepare.
Based on current estimates on companies' preparedness, the government said it was likely that only 30 to 60 percent of trucks laden with goods would arrive at Dover and other ports in southeast England with the right paperwork to cross to France.
Gove told parliament this could lead to queues of "up to 7,000 HGVs in Kent" from January 1, holding up goods for two days.
