This means British citizens' passports should be stamped on entry to and exit from the Schengen Area, unless they can show evidence that they lawfully reside in an EU Member State or European Free Trade Association (EFTA) country. Border guards will use passport stamps to check that third-country nationals are compliant in terms of the length of stay permitted in the Schengen Area.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>In August 2023, the Department published My Full Reality, a cross-Government interim delivery plan on myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which sets out a number of actions to improve the experiences and outcomes for people with the condition through an expansion of research, better education of professionals, improvements in attitudes towards the condition, and improvements to service provision.</p><p>Alongside the publication of the interim Delivery Plan, we ran a public consultation to gather the views and experiences of healthcare professionals, organisations, and individuals with lived experiences of ME/CFS. The aim of the consultation is to build a picture of how well the interim delivery plan identifies and meets the needs of the ME/CFS community, and to understand where there are any gaps where further action may be necessary.</p><p>The consultation received well over 3,000 highly detailed responses, which are in the process of being analysed. The consideration and analysis of these responses is progressing steadily, and we are on track to publish a summary of the consultation responses shortly. The consultation responses, along with continued close engagement with stakeholders, will inform the development of the final delivery plan, which we aim to publish later this year.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/05/2024 08:53:23 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
