answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government is supportive of the principle of US pre-clearance and there have been initial discussions between the UK and US governments, however, pre-clearance requires a commercial agreement between the airport operator and US authorities for these to be advanced.</p><p>It is important to note pre-clearance is not something which could be quickly implemented at UK airports. Careful negotiation across the UK Government and with the US would be required before pre-clearance could become a reality at UK airports.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 09/05/2024 15:48:00 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
