Border Force

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 September 2013. It occurred during Urgent question on Border Force.

I do not think I acknowledged that at all. In terms of the figures that I set out for Calais, 6,000 attempted illegal migrants were intercepted last year and so far this year we are running ahead of that rate, so I am confident that the full-year total will be ahead of it. The performance is improving, therefore. I saw that myself when I visited, and our officers do an excellent job in stopping people even getting to the UK. That is why the juxtaposed controls are so important.
