Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill

Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I have not requested such statistics, because what matters is not what is happening today or happened yesterday but what might happen in the future. I contacted the Library to ask what information was available on the number of people committing offences under immigration laws, but I confess that I did not ask about the means used to reach this country. I thought that it would be appropriate to draft a broad definition to embrace every possible craft.
