There are doubts over whether UK passport holders will be able to use e-gates at EU airports this summer.
The EU Commission has told the BBC that UK citizens will not have access to them until a new scheme to enhance border security comes into force in October, and even then it is up to individual countries.
When asked if e-gates would be available this summer, Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden told the BBC: “Nothing is going to happen before that’s [the new scheme] in place.”
