Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The implementation of the British Irish Visa Scheme for the Common Travel Area, due to commence roll-out in the autumn, will require a small number of amendments of a technical nature to be made to Statutory Instrument 417/2012 Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) Order. Work on these amendments is currently in progress.
