Salisbury Incident 2018: Update

Proceeding contribution from Derek Twigg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 September 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Salisbury Incident 2018: Update.

I thank the Home Secretary for her statement. We now know that not one, not two, but three Russian agents were able to get into this country by basically just walking into the airport. In the statement, the Home Secretary talked about

“new powers to enable the police to stop, question, search, and detain individuals…to determine whether they are spies or otherwise”.

Does she believe that those new powers would have prevented the three individuals from getting into this country?
