British travellers heading to the EU on holiday next year are likely to face 'sustained delays and disruption' at the border because of new travel checks, peers have warned Priti Patel.
The House of Lords Justice and Home Affairs Committee has written to the Home Secretary to tell her it is 'very concerned' about the potential impact of two new systems which are due to be rolled out by the bloc.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation Scheme (ETIAS) will require non-EU citizens to apply for permission to travel ahead of time and will come with a cost of €7 (£6).
Meanwhile, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) will keep track of non-EU citizens when they enter and leave the EU using an automated process which will involve face scans and taking fingerprints.
The committee told Ms Patel that the new systems could have 'serious consequences' for British nationals but the UK 'appears to be unprepared'.
