Germany: Educational Visits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she has taken with his German counterparts to facilitate more bi-lateral school visits since July 4 2024.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
During the Prime Minister's successful visit to Berlin on 28 August 2024, Chancellor Scholz and he agreed to work on a once-in-a-generation bilateral treaty between our countries, rooted in our shared values and common goals. Within the context of wider and strengthened migration cooperation, we agreed to develop arrangements with Germany similar to those we already have with France on school group travel. Significant progress has been made at working level on both the wider agreement and school group arrangements. The Government will provide updates on the rules regarding school groups travel in advance of any change.
