Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Operation Pathway.


Operation Pathway

I am interested to hear the Home Secretary express confidence in the border security regime of this country. However, last week on the BBC, the former Mayor of London said that""whatever changes you make to student visas…They"—" I assume that he means our enemies—""will find a way round it. If it isn’t students coming in it will be tourists."" Why does Mr. Livingstone not share her enthusiasm for and confidence in the Government’s regime?
