Stansted Airport: Immigration Controls

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Manchester Airport Group, the owner of Stansted Airport, on the potential closure of the Border Inspection Post at Stansted Airport.

Answer

Defra is aware that Stansted has signalled an intention to relocate its Border Inspection Post to another site and that the timing of this remains uncertain. This is a commercial decision for the airport’s owners. No application to de-designate the existing site or designate a new site has been received. The Department stands ready to help progress such applications when received.
