May: Sir Keir Starmer says British holidaymakers will be able to use e-gates

Despite the Prime Minister boasting earlier this year that his EU reset deal would see Britons 'sailing through the e-gates', The Mail on Sunday can reveal that just 11 per cent of European airports allow British holidaymakers to use them.Starmer hailed the e-gates change as one of the key elements of his deal with Brussels in May, stating at the time that 'instead of waiting in long queues at passport control, Brits travelling to Europe will now be able to use e-gates'.But just 45 out of the 400 commercial airports in the EU had given e-gate access to British travellers by the end of July, according to figures obtained via a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to the Cabinet Office, seen by The MoS.
