Educational Visits: France

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the UK-France Joint Leaders' Declaration, published on 10 March, what discussions she has had with her French counterpart on facilitating school trips between France and the UK.

Answer

At the Leaders’ summit in Paris on 10 March 2023 the UK committed to ease the travel of school groups to the UK by making changes to documentary requirements for schoolchildren on organised trips from France.

France and the UK further agreed to establish a Mobility Dialogue through a Technical Working Group under joint ministerial oversight to address bilateral mobility issues.

The first of these was held in early June and we are currently working through the details of implementation.

More information will be provided in due course.
