Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to (1) strengthen, and (2) protect, the UK's borders.

The Home Office priority will always be to keep our citizens safe and our borders secure and we will not compromise on this.

Border Force officers work tirelessly to protect our borders at 140 sea and airports right across the UK, working closely with law enforcement agencies to share intelligence.

The Home Office has a clear long-term vision to transform the UK Border.

This includes making visible changes to security, flow and passenger experience by harnessing new technical solutions for automation and focusing Border Force Officers' expertise on high harm cases.
