Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords].
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]
Yes, that is what I am going to do. Over the past couple of years, we have made real progress in the immigration system. We have launched the UK Border Agency as a single force at the border, and we have toughened up our visa regime, effectively exporting the border by requiring biometric registration of all who wish to travel here on a visa. So far we have enrolled more than 4 million sets of fingerprints, flagging up thousands of cases of people who have swapped their identities.
