Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 18 December 2025 to Question 99775, what the results were of the Contactless Travel pilot conducted in October.

In the Immigration White Paper, the Government set out our ambition to use new technologies to increase the use of automation at the UK border, including at Paris Gare du Nord, and deliver visible changes to security, passenger flow and the customer experience.

We intend to set out further details on contactless travel and our plans to transform the UK border later this year.
