The Chair of parliament's transport committee Ruth Cadbury MP has written to Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander asking her to outline what flexibilities the government is seeking to negotiate with EU member states to alleviate the risk of "significant disruption" this summer.
In her letter, Cadbury acknowledged the UK government has no direct control over how the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) is operated.
However, she wrote: "It is clear from widespread media reports and the interventions of stakeholders that British tourists and freight entering the UK from the EU could face significant disruptions over the summer if no action is taken."
