Rumours are that the Home Office will require a form from 8 March, but nothing has been published yet.
And then, there's the need to check that the passenger is allowed into the foreign country, and that will vary depending upon the country, the date of travel and no doubt the phases of the Moon. But I believe that they still use TIMATIC for that. The problem, of course, is ensuring that all the pieces of paper that are required are the correct ones, and correctly filled in.
This sounds correct. It has little to do with BA or BA policy and everything to do with government requirements to leave the UK, to transit any given jurisdiction, and to enter one's destination jurisdiction. These two would also include citizenship tot he extent that it matters and thus UK nationals are simply one subset of passengers.
