Border security
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of (a) electronic and (b) manned borders; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
We are constantly reviewing the efficacy of staffed borders on a regular, intelligence-led basis. There are currently 41 staffed ports, of which 16 are staffed 24 hours a day. We are developing an e-borders programme and a borders management programme, and will deliver a more integrated secure border based on both electronic and staffed components.
