Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 June 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

We are in danger of potentially “salami-ing”, if I can use the phrase in reference to the meat that my noble friend Lord Rooker mentioned, the issue of what contains an issue of border security. I regard biosecurity, cybersecurity and, indeed, the issue of economic security in the noble Lord’s Amendment 18, as being well understood. The noble Lord is absolutely right that individuals who come into this country who are either exploited themselves and subject to modern slavery issues or are undercutting legitimate businesses by paying illegal wages in illegal conditions, is an economic security issue.
