Chief Inspector of Immigration: Report on Juxtaposed Controls | Migration Watch UK

Commenting on the report, Mr Alp Mehmet, Vice Chariman of Migration Watch UK said:

“The Chief Inspector is right to point to inadequate Border Force resources, especially at Calais. It is time the government accepted that an effective border control can’t be had on the cheap and allocate sufficient resources to address an issue of significant public concern.? Security concerns may have led to some of the redactions in the report but it is difficult to see this as the reason for all of them. Transparency has to be the best policy, if only to show that the Home Office has nothing to hide.”
