Brexit: Tourism

Debate between Baroness Sugg and Lord Lee of Trafford

Monday 20th November 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Sugg]

As I said previously, we are ready to move on with these negotiations and hope to do so shortly.

[Lord Lee of Trafford (LD)]

My Lords, longer queues at airports are likely to be yet another exciting bonus of Brexit. What plans do the Government have to deal with the likely increase in queueing at the airports?

[Baroness Sugg]

My Lords, we are of course mindful of this possibility and are planning for the border to maintain security and flow at all ports of entry and exit. The Department for Transport is working closely with the Home Office to minimise delays after exit.
