Hi and welcome to Forum.

They can ask you that question whenever they like; only UK nationals have the right to enter the United Kingdom.

Hope this helps.

Good luck
"Essential" travel seems ok.聽 " Essential" is not a law - it is bureaucratic interpretation.
Take careful note - record yr conversation and make it obvious.聽 ?Name and ID of the official.聽 Request (demand) precise reason for any refusals.聽 What law is being applied?
Good luck

Yeah, my daughter arrived in the UK on Thursday; she tells me that the emphasis was more on the Dutch side where people were being denied travel because of inadequate reasons; when they got to the UK, it was just a check of the Locater form and passport.

Both she and her husband have since had follow-up contact from the Border Police.聽 Just making sure they were aware of the rules they said.
