§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a further statement on the steps being taken to prevent persons entering the United Kingdom illegally via the East Anglian coast.
§ Mr. RentonI refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Ipswich (Mr. Irvine) on 23 June at column 1244. In East Anglia, as elsewhere, the local police, immigration service and customs representatives liaise closely to counter illegal entry.
