Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to introduce legislative provision making it an offence to knowingly arrive in the UK without an Electronic Travel Authorisation before the summer recess.

It is already a requirement for eligible nationals to obtain an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before travel to the UK, and entry may be refused if one is not held. We will consider when to commence the offence of knowingly arriving in the UK without an ETA, and announce this in due course.
