Petition Action

Stop Scotland being made the guinea pig again with UK Government’s E-Borders initiative and the Immigration Act 2014

Additional Information

New legislation and tighter border controls are currently being used to identify those with outstanding TV license fees and council tax bills when they get to the airport.


This should be abolished as it is not unknown for government departments or local authorities to make mistakes. It also provides a remit which could also be extended to other debts. This would make the police and border staff debt collectors which is not their job.
