Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the time it takes for passport checks at the border.

Border Force have robust plans in place to deploy officers flexibly to support passenger flow and to help minimise wait times and queues at the UK border.

Border Force’s number one priority is to keep our borders safe and secure for all passengers, and we will not compromise on this.

We are working closely with all UK ports and airports to ensure passengers have the smoothest possible journey.
