Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 4 July (HL8644), what discussions they intend to have with other EU countries about the possibility of making arrangements for school trips from those countries to the UK.

At the Leaders’ summit in Paris on 10 March 2023 the UK committed to ease the travel of school groups to the UK by making changes to documentary requirements for schoolchildren on organised trips from France.

We are currently working through the details of implementation and more information will be provided in due course.

We would consider negotiating with other countries should they approach us with an interest in making similar arrangements.
