Six of the eight border IT systems viewed as critical for a no-deal Brexit are at risk of failure, compounded by their reliance on each other and the fact delivery partners aren't ready.
[...] The report, prepared before Prime Minister Theresa May said she would allow Parliament to vote on a possible delay, treats 29 March 2019 as Brexit day – but it is clear some of the issues won't be resolved by a delay of just weeks.
The NAO said that six of the eight IT systems ranked as most critical for no deal by the cross-government Border Delivery Group are "at risk of not being delivered to time and to acceptable quality".
These include Defra's Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) and Automatic Licence Verification System (ALVS), both of which have their IT components listed as amber-red, and HMRC's CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight), which is ranked as amber.

So many Dems said, "oh, we don't need Wall -- put in camera, put in Drone, put in the modern digital." And some of them, incredibly, said Wall is IMMORAL! Well, walls work. And walls never ever fail. Cyber, you look at it funny and it stops working. You call the repair guy, guy shows up, the cyber is working again. He pushes the buttons, he does the spray, you pay him, he drives off in the little van. And your cyber is kaput again. Failing. It's no way to run a Border. Because it doesn't keep out the drug "mules." Doesn't keep out the human traffickers. And doesn't keep out the terrorists (Irish). Barrier does. We're building ours very quickly. But, very strong and beautiful!!! pic.twitter.com/TYkj3KRdOC [t.co]
