Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what action is being taken to help ensure that EES rollout does not result in delays and queues for UK passport holders at European airports.

The Home Office has engaged with the European Commission and Member States to understand plans for the implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES), in order to support industry and the British travelling public through clear communications about these changes. Ultimately, these matters are the responsibility of the European Commission and Member States.
