Need also to improve the facilities of the port of Dover.” But French politician Pierre-Henri Dumont, Republican MP for Calais, has blamed delays on the UK’s exit from the EU, telling BBC News it was “an aftermath of Brexit” with more checks needed and claiming the Dover port is “too small” with too few kiosks due to lack of space. Port authorities said they were “relieved that French border staff have now been fully mobilised at French border controls in Dover”.
