Minister questions why opposition to vote against bill to beef up border security

Home Office minister Dame Angela Eagle told MPs in the House of Commons: "People smuggling is a complex and multi-faceted problem. There are not quick or easy solutions to prevent it." "Anyone who claims that there are easy answers is a snake oil salesman, but it is possible to identify, disrupt and dismantle the criminal gangs and strengthen the security of our borders with international diplomacy and operational co-operation."
