Immigration Controls: Airports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has undertaken a cross-Government assessment of the potential implications of a US government shutdown on border security at UK airports.
Answered by Alex Norris
Our priority is to maintain a secure border. We will not compromise on this. Border Force performs checks on all passengers arriving at the UK border on scheduled services to identify individuals who pose, or are suspected to pose, a risk to the national interest.
