British National (Overseas): Airports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will set a target date for British National (Overseas) passport holders to be able to use eGates at the UK border.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The introduction of eGates has been part of the Home Office’s wider approach to transforming our borders. Currently, there are over 270 eGates in place at 15 air and rail ports, open to British citizens and a range of other nationalities.
We are in the process of reviewing our approach to eGate eligibility policy and will announce our decision in due course.
