Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help reduce waiting times for UK citizens travelling through airports in Schengen area countries in summer 2026.

The Government is working with the European Commission and Schengen countries to understand the new border process changes and to promote flexible, pragmatic solutions for UK travellers.

Waiting times in Schengen area countries remain a matter for the European Union and individual member states.
