It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dame Maria. I congratulate the hon. Member for North Down (Stephen Farry) on securing the debate and thank his colleagues from Northern Ireland for attending. The electronic travel authorisation (ETA) scheme will enhance border security by screening visitors and preventing those who pose risks from entering the UK. This aligns with international partners, including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the EU's upcoming ETIAS. While the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland present challenges, the Government have agreed to exempt non-visa national residents of Ireland from obtaining an ETA when travelling to the UK within the common travel area (CTA). This exemption is based on presenting physical evidence demonstrating legal residency in Ireland. The scheme aims to balance security with economic concerns by working closely with tourism organisations and launching a clear communications strategy. For individuals who accidentally enter Northern Ireland without an ETA, prosecutions will focus on egregious cases, not accidental errors. The Department has conducted an impact analysis showing that the value to UK security outweighs any impact on tourism in Northern Ireland, although steps are being taken to mitigate this through collaboration with tourism bodies and cost-effective measures (maximum fee of £10). The Government remain committed to reviewing the system and finding pragmatic solutions for its success.
