Cabinet Minister Michael Gove has defended his plans for new post-Brexit border infrastructure after Labour said the government was unprepared.
A £705m funding package to help manage Britain's borders has been announced as the UK prepares to leave the EU customs union at the end of the year.
...
The UK left the EU on 31 January and is now in an 11-month transition period, during which existing trading rules and membership of the customs union and single market apply.
What the UK's relationship with the EU will look like when the transition period ends will depend on whether a trade deal is reached.
Northern Ireland will continue to follow some EU rules on agricultural and manufactured goods even after the transition period.

The original "oven ready" reference was JUST about the the Transition Deal. That has been signed, sealed, and delivered, ie cooked.

With a new Parliament and a sensible majority
Government, we can get that deal through
in days. It is oven-ready - and every single
Conservative candidate at this election, all 635
of them, have pledged to vote for this deal as
soon as Parliament returns.

So NOT about border controls or after the deal ends.
