Proceeding contribution from Gwyn Prosser (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 March 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Immigration (Work Permits).


Immigration (Work Permits)

I want to add my welcome to the new proposals, not least because they will enable us to crack down on the abuse of the immigration system in this country, just as past and present measures have enabled us to crack down on the abuse of our asylum system. The new proposals will involve the reintroduction of embarkation controls, which the Tories abandoned in 1994. How does my right hon. Friend propose to reintroduce embarkation measures in busy ferry ports such as Dover without interrupting the essential flow of traffic and people?
