Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to his Answer of 26 January 2021 to Question 138871, which of the UK’s European network of Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates have received contact from UK nationals regarding disruption at the Schengen border since 1 January 2021.

As the Government has stated, fewer than 200 UK nationals have contacted our European network of Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates regarding disruption at the Schengen border since 1 January 2021. Enquiries have been received regarding Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, Latvia, Finland, Denmark, Bulgaria, Italy and Malta. The Government has worked to resolve this disruption by raising concerns with the European Commission, as well as engaging bilaterally with Member States and carriers. The steps taken by the Government have resulted in a reduction in enquiries. We are continuing to monitor the situation, to ensure that UK nationals' rights are upheld across the EU.
