§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the cost of installing and operating a system of recording the entry and departure of visitors to the United Kingdom. [89829]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienWe estimate that the additional staffing costs at ports would be about £10 million per annum in order to support a system of recording the entry and departure of all visitors. There would also be further significant cost implications for enhancement of the present record systems.
