‘Grace period’ needed for dual nationals returning to UK on second passport, say Lib Dems

Will Forster MP says lack of planning and haphazard communication' on new border rules has caused chaos

A grace period" should be introduced for British dual nationals living, working or holidaying abroad who face being blocked from returning to the UK if they do not have an up-to-date British passport, the Liberal Democrats have said.

Entry requirements change on 25 February as part of a wider initiative to streamline immigration which requires British dual nationals to present either a valid UK passport or a certificate of entitlement" on their foreign passport to the airline, ferry or train operator.
