Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions the Government has had with the European Commission on proposals for the use of e-gates for British citizens travelling to and from the EU.
Some Member States already allow British citizens to use e-gates at airports in certain circumstances.
Our priority is to minimise unnecessary delays for British citizens, including by engaging with the European Commission and Member States on the EU's Entry/Exit System to understand the impact on British citizens once operational.
