answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2017 answer text <p>We have been very clear that we want to protect the Common Travel Area (CTA) arrangements that have served these islands well for nearly 100 years. We are supported in that determination by the EU, the Irish Government and parties in Northern Ireland. This means no routine immigration controls on journeys from within parts of the CTA (Ireland and the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man; Jersey; Guernsey)) to the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We have been equally clear that as we exit the EU we will not countenance a situation that places new barriers between constituent parts of the United Kingdom. There is therefore, no question of any new passport or other checks on people travelling between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As the Secretary of State said in his speech to the Conservative Party Conference there must be “no border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland or anything that fractures the internal market of the United Kingdom which benefits Northern Ireland hugely”.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 25/10/2017 16:40:09 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
