Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Immigration Service.
Immigration Service
The Secretary of State is still ambiguous about what the uniformed force will do. Unless and until there is a dedicated ports police for our sea ports, we will have porous borders, and no measures taken by him or his successors will be taken seriously, whether in the war against terrorism, the illegal trafficking of people, or combating the mafia-style crimes committed by people who go through our sea ports. What logic is there in having police in our airports, but not our sea ports? Get real on this! A mobile force.
