Immigration Controls: Airports
Asked by: Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat - Orkney and Shetland) Tuesday 23rd April 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that people with similar names to people on watchlists are not harassed during border checks at airports. Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery) Our priority is to maintain a secure border. We will not compromise on this. Border Force performs checks on all passengers arriving at the UK border on scheduled services to identify individuals who pose, or are suspected to pose, a risk to the national interest. Identities, and combinations of names and dates of birth, are not necessarily unique. Individuals who share names with persons of interest may experience closer examination than would otherwise be the case. The Home Office is making significant investment to improve the underlying technical infrastructure which performs border checks to identify individuals more precisely. This will reduce the number of individuals incorrectly matched to persons of interest and enable Border Force to identify more quickly individuals who are not to be confused with persons of interest. We expect these improvements to start having effect over the summer. |

Gaza: Aid Workers
Asked by: Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat - Orkney and Shetland) Tuesday 30th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of opening a coronial inquest into the killing of three British nationals working with the World Central Kitchen by an Israeli drone strike in Gaza. Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development) The Prime Minister spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on 2 April and made clear that the UK was appalled by the killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including three British Nationals, in an Israeli airstrike. The Prime Minister called for a thorough and transparent investigation into what happened. We are reviewing the initial findings of Israel's investigation of the incident. Guaranteed deconfliction for aid convoys and other humanitarian work is essential. The Government mourns the loss of these brave humanitarian workers, and our thoughts remain with their families at this time. |
