Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

The hon. Gentleman will recall that, when I asked the Minister earlier in the debate, he said that the arrangements would be based on the precedent that an immigration officer could arrest only in pursuance of an existing immigration crime and that any change or any working solution would require a police officer. As yet, there is no indication of how that will happen, except presumably in the instance of highly focused intelligence-led operations, but not in the sort of casual instances at hundreds of ports around the country.
