Proceeding contribution from Damian Green (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
I agree. People from around the country, whether with relatively small airports, although Newcastle is not that small, or with small ports, as those of us who live in Kent know well, accept that there is a large hole. We do not have a barrier; we have sieve. It should be relatively easy to protect an island, but we seem to find it more difficult than other countries find protecting long land borders.
