Another supposedly decisive
meeting of the
Brexit subcommittee is scheduled for Wednesday, at which ministers are due to discuss which of two competing visions of customs cooperation Britain wishes to see happen when it leaves the European Union.
May delayed a final decision on the preferred customs option after a tense
meeting of the
Brexit subcommittee last week during which the home and defence secretaries, Sajid Javid and Gavin Williamson, also expressed concerns about the plan, along with Johnson, the environment secretary, Michael Gove, and the international trade secretary, Liam Fox.
