Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department is taking steps to help ensure the smooth flow of Eurostar passengers at St Pancras.

The Government recognises the important benefits international rail services provide for citizens and businesses, providing fast and sustainable connections to European destinations. Ensuring the smooth flow of passengers at St Pancras remains a priority for Government.

My Department, together with the Home Office as the lead Department on borders, routinely engages with the French Government, Eurostar and other relevant parties in discussions on border-related matters and also to ensure that respective arrangements between the UK and French authorities work as effectively as possible.
