Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on what dates the joint Home Office and Department for Transport Ministerial Border Group has met to identify and prepare for high levels of demand at the UK border; and which Ministers have attended at each of the Group's meetings since its inception.

The Ministerial Group on Airport Border Operations, between the Department for Transport and the Home Office was established in early 2022. It is chaired by the Minister for Security and Borders and membership extends to the Minister for Safe and Legal Migration and the Minister for Aviation.

The group has met four times this year; on 18 January, 28 March, 12 April and 4 July. On 12 May myself and the Minister for Security and Borders met with CEOs from across the aviation industry.
