Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 June 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

For the role of the Border Security Commander, which is a key manifesto commitment from the Government, we cannot simply have a duplication of functions. We need a commander with the powers to organise and direct the bodies responsible for securing our borders. The British public are not interested in technical advisory frameworks. They are not interested in another layer of consultation. They want action and a Government who enforce their own laws, uphold our borders and stop rewarding those who enter this country illegally.
