Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when a British diplomatic or consular representative in Ireland last visited Shannon Airport and whether any report was made as to the arrangements there for implementing the Common Travel Area for passengers arriving directly from the United Kingdom.

As the Prime Minister and Taoiseach made clear at the 2026 UK-Ireland Summit, the UK and Ireland are committed to protecting the integrity of the Common Travel Area. UK officials continue to work closely with their Irish counterparts on a range of issues, including border security and migration.
