The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of occasions on which European airports have suspended the Entry/Exit System since its full introduction on 6 April.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Entry/Exit System (EES) was fully implemented across all Schengen countries on 10 April 2026.

EES is an EU system and its implementation is a matter for the EU and member states. The Home Office does not record suspension of border control processes in European airports.
