UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who is making a characteristically powerful case. Does he agree that it is a red herring to say that we need new types of ID documents in the years ahead to sort the problem out? If we have proper surveillance and control at all our ports of entry, people are meant to bring with them legal passports and our officials should be able to tell which is a legal passport and a legal application and which is not. It is the failure to administer the system, not the underlying documentation, that is the problem.
