Today I asked the Home Secretary about the last Labour Governments involvement in the suspension of border checks.
Please read my question and the Home Secretary's response below.
Robert Halfon (Harlow): "Can my Hon. Friend Confirm that the suspension of border checks had nothing to do with budget cuts. In fact begun under the last Government when budgets where actualy rising, and our immigration system was in shambles?"
Theresa May (Home Secretary): "My Hon. Friend is absolutely correct. That indeed the suspension of checks did start under the last Government. At least as I have indicated in response to another Hon. Friend earlier, this is a Government which now has a proper immigration policy and is intending to control immigration. What we also need to do is ensure that UK Border Force is the law enforcement agency, with control at our borders that we all want it to."
