Exit Checks were abolished by the Labour Government in 1998. The
Coalition Agreement committed this Government to reinstate them. By April
2015, comprehensive exit checks will apply on scheduled, commercial air, sea
and rail routes.

We are also working with operators in the General Aviation and General Maritime
sectors to strengthen border security checks on those who leave the UK on
non-scheduled services.
