To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the introduction by the European Union of its Entry/Exit System and its European Travel Information and Authorisation System will affect travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) and European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) are EU systems and do not apply in any part of the UK, including Northern Ireland. EES and ETIAS will not apply in Ireland as it is not part of the Schengen Area. We do not foresee any implications for travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
