answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing illegal immigration. Since 2010 we have completely reformed the immigration system, cutting abuse whilst focusing on attracting the brightest and the best.</p><p>We are tackling illegal immigration by making it harder for those who do not qualify under the Immigration Rules to live here illegally, including through measures introduced in the Immigration Acts 2014 and 2016. We have taken action against over 1,000 colleges to prevent the admission of non-genuine students into the country. We continue to take enforcement action against employers who employ illegal workers; applying civil penalties, intervening with licensing authorities to withdraw licences, and closing their business premises where necessary.</p><p>In addition, we have pursued an ambitious programme of reform at the border, included investment in new technology in the United Kingdom and at our juxtaposed controls to keep this country safe, with Border Force transforming its working practices, command and control and leadership. These reforms are working and border security has been enhanced.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/03/2019 16:56:17 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>Border Force do not routinely publish this level of data on clandestines, as this could compromise immigration controls and impact on national security.</p><p>I refer the Rt. Hon member for Dover to the answer of 12 February which states:</p><p>The Home Office works closely with partners in the UK and overseas to strike people smuggling at source – identifying and dismantling the organ-ised crime groups that facilitate illegal immigration. Additionally, the UK works abroad to reduce factors that may push or force people to attempt such journeys - through creating jobs, tackling modern slavery, providing education and delivering life-saving humanitarian assistance in response to conflicts and natural disasters.</p><p>In November a new UK-France Coordination and Information Centre opened in Calais to strengthen our joint efforts to tackle all kinds of crimi-nality at the border. Border Force is working alongside Police Aux Fron-tieres as part of a 24/7 operation to help prevent illegal attempts to cross the shared border and exchange intelligence between UK and French agencies to combat cross-border criminality.</p><p>Despite our successes in preventing attempts to enter the UK illegally, we are not complacent. We will continue to work closely with our French coun-terparts to maintain border security and keep legitimate passengers and trade moving.</p><p>At juxtaposed controls and ports around the country, Border Force officers use some of the most advanced detection technology available to find and stop migrants attempting to reach the UK illegally.</p><p>We have also invested tens of millions of pounds in new infrastructure to enhance border security, with all freight vehicles entering the UK screened for people being smuggled into the UK using a range of techniques, which include using carbon dioxide detectors and motion sensors as well as sniff-er dogs to detect clandestine on board lorries.</p><p>We have taken steps to address the possibility that there may be a dis-placement of clandestine migrant activity towards smaller and less fre-quented ports, as enhanced controls at the juxtaposed ports have become increasingly effective.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/02/2019 16:04:51 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
