British tourists could have to pay to visit Europe after Brexit as part of a US-style visa waiver system, the immigration minister has said.

Robert Goodwill told MPs the EU was considering adopting a version of America's Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) but it was too early know if this would apply to UK residents after withdrawal.

Mr Goodwill pointed out that the US system was not journey specific and some ESTAs lasted for ten years.
