The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent discussions she has had with her US counterpart on establishing US pre-clearance facilities at London Heathrow Airport.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

A decision to explore US pre-clearance is primarily a commercial decision for airport operators. An outline commercial agreement between the airport operator and US authorities would be required before any formal discussions between the UK and US government could take place.
