UK Borders Bill

Keith Best: You may well be right on that, Mr. Green. One of the problems is being able to spot a forged Polish or Czech Republic passport. With the increase in EU membership there are many different passports and people have got to be fairly expert on what the genuine ones look like. One thinks of the relative porosity of the eastern borders of the European Union now, and the very large number of Ukrainians, for example, who come to Poland on a visitor basis but work illegally, not least to backfill the spaces of those who have come to the west to work, especially in care homes and so on. Once you are within the borders of the European Union there must be a tremendous temptation to get hold of a somewhat obscure European Union passport and travel around the EU on that.
