The inspection team will visit small seaports across the United Kingdom in the coming weeks and engage with industry stakeholders and Border Force staff. The scope of this inspection will focus on the effectiveness of Project Kraken following its relaunch in the summer of 2022.
While this inspection was not included in my 2022-23 inspection plan, I had previously indicated that I would revisit Project Kraken before Spring 2023.
The inspection team anticipates reporting to the Home Secretary by March 2023.
