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


National Security

We are looking at that, and if the hon. Gentleman has particular expertise that he wishes to bring to bear on these matters, I know that my hon. Friend the Minister with responsibility for immigration will be very happy to talk to him about it. We must benefit from all the new technology that is available, but I appeal to the hon. Gentleman as someone who I know has thought a lot about the issues: we must recognise that a combination of e-borders, border control and some form identity management will be necessary for the future.
