Introducing fingerprint checks at the border (pdf) and Leaflet (pdf):

"From 30 November 2009, the UK Border Agency is introducing fingerprint checks at the border for passengers with biometric UK visas, entry clearances and identity cards for foreign nationals (ICFNs). This is being introduced incrementally at ports across the United Kingdom by March 2010."

It should be noted that the UK is to fingerprint children of 6 years old and above - unlike the provisions in the EU Directive which sets the age at 12 years old and above.
