Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU on waiting times at passport control for passengers entering the UK from EU Member States.
We are considering a range of options for the UK’s future immigration system and will be outlining further details of the new system later in the year.
Government departments are working together across a range of complex issues to develop our future approach at the border. These options will be kept under review in light of negotiations with the EU.
We actively monitor workflows at the border to ensure sufficient resources are in place to meet demand and will continue to do so throughout negotiations and as the UK leaves the EU.
