Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 July 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Entry and Exit System.
European Entry and Exit System
The Government are in constant dialogue with the European Union. We are working closely with European member states to ensure that the juxtaposed ports have the right technology and processes to enable travel to be as smooth as possible for UK citizens. This has included providing £3.5 million in funding to each of the three ports to help make their changes to infrastructure. We will continue to discuss with European partners how we can ensure that we have as smooth an operation as possible in the interests of both the European Union and British travellers.
