Re: Brexit - Public's Views
Hi
I must admit that I am somewhat at a loss as to the need to change our Passports on leaving the EU, or as to why we need to change our software.
It is perfectly capable of differentiating between UK Passports and all other Passports.
The issue will not be with our Passports, it will be EU Citizens who will have issues.
They are currently allowed to travel to the UK without a Passport, they can simply use their National ID Card, which is a very basic document, not as sophisticated as a Passport or foolproof as a Passport.
Once we leave, a critical part of our systems to control migration will be to require EU Citizens to have a passport, not just an ID Card.
