Electronic Travel Authorisations: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many cases are under consideration for potential prosecution in relation to travellers in Northern Ireland not having a valid electronic travel authorisation between 1 January and 1 June 2025.

Journeys from Ireland to the UK are within the Common Travel Area (CTA). As part of the CTA arrangements, the UK does not operate routine immigration controls of individuals arriving in the UK by air or sea from within the CTA, and no immigration checks are undertaken at the land border with Ireland.
