00:00Thank you, Mr Speaker. We at Reform, a party that is alive and kicking, very much enjoyed

00:05your speech on Monday. You seem to be learning a very great deal from us. But can I encourage

00:11you, please, to go further as a matter of national security.

00:18As a matter of national security, over the weekend an illegal immigrant from Iran, who

00:22we believe came by boat, was arrested in the north of England on serious charges of terrorism.

00:29Since the speech on Monday, 1,000 young, undocumented young males have crossed the English Channel.

00:35Does the Prime Minister agree? Now is the time to declare the situation in the English Channel

00:40as a national security emergency.

00:44It wasn't my speech. It was the Prime Minister's Prime Minister.

00:46Mr Speaker, the situation is serious. The last government lost control of the borders.

00:52We are taking power. The Borders Bill, precisely to his point, is the first bill to give

00:58terrorism-like powers to law enforcement, precisely so that we can get in before the crimes are

01:04committed, before people get to this country. This is the most far-reaching provision ever

01:10for law enforcement to defend and secure our borders. And that is why it is extraordinary

01:16that he, of all people, voted against it. And sooner or later, he is going to have an

01:21experiment.
