Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.


National Security

I urge the Prime Minister to look again at the plans for e-borders, which are based around the check-in process. Technology already in use in America frequently does not pick up problems until after the aircraft has taken off. I urge him to look instead at the technology available off the shelf, much of it developed in Britain and in use in countries such as New Zealand and some of the Gulf states, which starts the process at the point at which people purchase their tickets.
