Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

This morning I visited the immigration service’s enforcement unit at East Midlands airport. It is not necessarily true that there is a significant disconnection between local police and immigration service staff at regional airports. The East Midlands airport unit has a police command team consisting of six officers, two being provided from each of the Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire forces. I was impressed by the scale of co-operation and the detail of the research that they carry out on the people whom they are tracking. The Minister also visited the unit a few weeks ago.
