Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 18 July 2023 to Question 193064 on Aviation: Security, which UK airports (a) installed Next Generation Security Checkpoints before 15 December 2022, (b) installed Next Generation Security Checkpoints between 15 December 2022 and 18 July 2023 and (c) are expected to install Next Generation Security Checkpoints before 1 August 2023.

A number of airports have been trialling the Next Generation Security Checkpoint (NGSC) technology and operational processes since 2018 and therefore have had this technology in place in trial lanes prior to 15 December 2022. In addition to these trials, two airports installed some NGSC equipment between 15 December 2022 and 18 July 2023 which they now use across all their passenger security lanes. Airports are currently rolling out the new technology, but none has completed full installation between 18 July 2023 and 1 August 2023.
