    first time in the event of ‘no deal’

    205m passengers who crossed the border between the UK and
    the rest of the EU in 2017, not including an unknown number
    of passengers who crossed the border between Northern Ireland
    and Ireland

    employed in 2017-18. This follows a 7% reduction in staff numbers
    from 2014-15 to 2017-18.
