Borders, Immigration and Identity Action Plan - Using the National Identity Scheme to strengthen our borders and enforce compliance within the UK

In July 2006 we launched a programme of radical change to make our immigration system fit for the future. This transformation is founded on four new strategic objectives.

  • Strengthen our borders; use tougher checks abroad so that only those with permission can travel to the
    UK; and ensure that we know who leaves so that we can take action against those who break the rules.
  • Fast-track asylum decisions, remove those whose claims fail and integrate those who need our protection.
  • Ensure and enforce compliance with our immigration laws, removing the most harmful people first and denying the privileges of Britain to those here illegally.
  • Boost Britain’s economy by bringing the right skills here from around the world, and ensuring that this country is easy to visit legally.
