USA: Edinburgh Airport
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his US counterparts on the possibility of a US Customs pre-clearance at Edinburgh Airport.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
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.
