Foreigners with brp can use e gate when going through British border control

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

It is not good that there are long queues at UK border control, especially Heathrow, where non-EU foreigners often have to queue for more than two hours
Foreign nationals with brp are residents of the UK and do not have a problem with immigration intentions, so there is no need to undergo manual checks. And some countries have taken similar effective measures, such as Japan, us and South Korea
