Andrew Percy – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Percy on 2015-10-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the success of her Department’s policies in supporting the UK Border Force to tackle illegal immigration into the UK.

James Brokenshire

Ensuring the security of the UK’s borders and tackling illegal immigration is a priority for the Government. We keep all policies under review to ensure effectiveness.

The new Immigration Bill contains measures designed to reform the UK’s immigration system, to prevent abuse and the flouting of the law by people who should not be here. The Bill will help secure the border, support working people, clamp down on illegal immigration and protect our public services, and tackle the exploitation of low-skilled workers and increase sanctions for those involved in such practices.
