HC Deb 25 November 1993 vol 233 c154W
25. Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the operation of the Immigration (Carriers' Liability) Act 1987.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The Immigration (Carriers' Liability) Act 1987 has an important effect in reducing the number of people who are able to travel to the United Kingdom without proper documents. Our strategy for its operation combines extensive training and guidance for carriers with the vigorous pursuit of charges incurred.
