We are turning our borders fully digital as part of our New Plan for Immigration. This will mean:
- A modernised system and one which will make it easier for businesses to navigate.
- A system which will allow us to act quickly to deny entry to foreign criminals and make our boarders more secure.
- A system which will give us the ability to count people in and out of the UK, and streamline the process coming into the UK legally.
It was clear in 2019 that the British people told us they want to see us regain control of our boarders and, since we have left the European Union, we have ended freedom of movement and introduced a points-based system. We are going one step further than this by turning our boarders fully digital as part of our New Plan for Immigration, making our country as secure as possible with boarders the British people can have confidence in.
