Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to allow British National (Overseas) visa holders to use the same border control queues as UK citizens at UK airports.

There are no proposed changes to airport queuing arrangements for any cohorts, including British National (Overseas) passport holders, at the current time.

However, queueing arrangements at the UK border, including the use of eGates, remain under constant review to prioritise security, maintain fluidity and ensure that we continue to run our border in the best interests of the UK whilst also taking into account capacity and availability of space at individual ports. The government is committed to improving our border security and the passenger experience by continuing to look at options to increase the usage of eGates by those currently eligible and explore innovative technologies to increase the use of automation at the UK border.
