He made the announcement while unveiling his budget in Britain's House of Commons. "Well open the use of e-passport gates at Heathrow and other airports, currently only available to EEEA nationals. "[We'll change the gates] to include visitors from United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Japan." In the lead up to Brexit, both New Zealanders and Australians are being given access to "fast track" e-gates, previously used only be EU passport holders. In the announcement made by UK Chancellor Philip Hammond, it was said that other nationalities would soon be allowed speedier entry to the UK – including passport holders from Canada, the United States and Japan.
The move will reduce the time it takes for New Zealanders to move through airports when visiting the United Kingdom.The e-passport gates are currently at 22 airports and international rail terminals across the country and will be accepting New Zealand passports as early as next year. The news follows a chaotic summer for British airports, where passport control queues tailed for two and a half hours.

The royal visit will shut vehicles out of parts of downtown Auckland on Tuesday afternoon with crowds expected.

- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Karanga Plaza in Wynyard Quarter for a stroll around 4pm on Tuesday.

- Wynyard Quarter will be closed to vehicles from 2pm on Tuesday afternoon. Roads would be reopened when crowds clear, Auckland Transport spokesman James Ireland said.

- If you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple, AT advised crowds to use public transport as parking in the area would be limited. Downtown, the Fanshawe Street car park or an open-air car park on Madden Street would be the closest options, it said.

- Normal timetables would operate on buses, trains and ferries but some buses would be diverted and stop closures would be in place, AT added. Buses including the 20 service, 75 service and CityLink service would experience detours. "Some delays can be expected," AT said. The bus stop at 63 Jellicoe Street would be closed and a temporary stop would be in place outside 55 Madden Street, AT said.

Other engagements planned for the royals on Tuesday include a 'welly-wanging' contest at Queen's Commonwealth Canopy on the North Shore between 11.45am and 12.45pm.

The couple will then head to Pillars, a charity that supports children with a parent in prison, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Following their stroll along the viaduct, the couple will attend a reception with Ardern held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum at 7pm. Read more here
