Home Secretary Priti Patel
PRITI PATEL’S immigration and asylum plans fail to bring about urgent reforms needed, campaigners warned today as proposals for a new digital visa system were announced.
In a virtual speech today, the Home Secretary vowed to fix Britain’s “broken” immigration system with a series of sweeping changes, including the full digitisation of border controls within four years.
Under the plans, all visitors to this country who do not have a visa or valid immigration status will be required to obtain an electronic permit before travelling, similar to the US Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme.
