Answer
We have secured confirmation that there will be no legal barriers to eGates use for UK nationals travelling to and from EU Member States after the introduction of the EU's Entry/Exit System.
But the Prime Minister has been clear that there should be no reason why European countries cannot go further and faster on this now.
We are therefore working with individual Member States at pace to make that transition happen as soon as possible.
