Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Security Industry Authority.


Security Industry Authority

Never mind whether it is the public or the private sector, there is rightly continued enforcement activity, including, for example, the 3,700 successful Border and Immigration Agency enforcement operations against illegal workers last year. All that work would have been decimated by the Conservative party's proposals in its manifesto at the last election to halve the money made available to the agency. It is a bit rich for Conservative Members to demand enforcement activity when they would have halved the agency's ability to carry it out.
