Justice measures in place for no-deal Brexit scenario
The Government has introduced legal provisions, including sharing of biometric data for travel visas, in preparation for a no-deal Brexit. The measure is one of a number of “pressing” issues in the justice area on which the Government and the Department of Justice are working.
In a document, the Department of Justice said that on July 15, Part 14 of the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequent Provisions) Act 2019 had been commenced. This covers asylum-related matters and the operation of the British Irish visa scheme, which is used for business or travel reasons.
