As UK travel reopens expect longer delays at airports -transport minister

LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - Travellers should expect longer
delays at British airports when overseas travel starts to open
up from May 17, transport minister Grant Shapps said on Friday.

"I'm afraid we do expect longer delays at airports," he told
a news conference.

Airports, including Britain's biggest Heathrow, have
expressed concerns about the UK Border Force's ability to
prevent long waits for arriving passengers at passport checks.
