Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many meetings he has had with Northern Ireland Tourism Alliance on the Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme.

The Home Office is the lead UK Government Department responsible for the implementation of the forthcoming Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme, including sector engagement.

As part of their day-to-day work, Northern Ireland Office Ministers continue to engage with a range of business and tourism sector organisations.

Northern Ireland Office Ministers met with Tourism NI in January 2022, and the NI Tourism Alliance in March 2022. We are in correspondence with the NI Tourism Alliance regarding their request for a further meeting.
