UK Borders Bill

Keith Best: It is very difficult to get to the United Kingdom. Deterrence measures do not work because unfortunately they do not work on the minds of those who might be deterred. I have evidence of that myself, on which I will elaborate if you wish me to. The fact is that it is very difficult to get to the United Kingdom now to claim asylum. That is why more and more people are putting themselves in the hands of smugglers or, even worse, in the hands of traffickers in order to escape persecution.
