IMMIGRATION AT STANSTED AIRPORT

That this House notes that immigration and special branch officers are deeply concerned about potential abuse of the Common Travel Area Channel at Stansted Airport, where travellers can pass throughborder control without having to show a passport; further notes that passport-free travel between the UK, the Crown dependencies and the Republic of Ireland has been in place for many years; further notes however that this is a loophole that could potentially be exploited by illegal migrants, Islamists and terrorists; further notes that closing this loophole is especially important given that the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen will take place in 2012; welcomes the Prime Minister's statement that he is absolutely determined to resolve the abuse of the Common Travel Area Channel; and urges the UK Border Agency to work quickly to make sure this happens.
