5:59Now PlayingA journalist has told James O'Brien of the letter from Liz Truss to Michael Gove warning that the UK is not going to be ready for Brexit by the end of the year.
The Brexit transition period ends at the end of 2020 and Boris Johnson has insisted he will not extend it, despite the coronavirus crisis putting an additional strain on resources.
Adam Payne from Business Insider has seen a letter from Ms Truss, the International Trade Secretary, to Mr Gove warning that there are a number of aspects that look unlikely to be ready.
Speaking to James O'Brien, he said: "Liz Truss sent a letter yesterday to Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove and other colleagues explaining several concerns she has about the UK's borders not actually being ready for next year.
"Of course, next year, the transition period ends, we will leave the single market and the customs union and there will be checks and controls on goods to and from the EU which don't take place at the moment.
