Rishi Sunak ‘wants deal with EU to smooth post-Brexit travel for UK holidaymakers’
Rishi Sunak is reportedly seeking a deal with the European Union to make post-Brexit travel to Europe easier for British passport holders.
The Prime Minister is hoping to reach an agreement with Brussels which would allow British nationals to use EU passport e-gates when heading to the continent, according to a report published by Bloomberg which cited people familiar with the matter.
This would remove the need for more time-consuming manual checks at the border, speeding things up and reducing the likelihood of lengthy queues.
The UK is reportedly yet to raise the matter formally with Brussels but it has been talked about informally after relations between the two sides have improved in recent months.
