How crime Lords slip into Britain: MPs warned gangsters are flying in and out with impunity because border guards are failing to check private planes

Labour MP Margaret Hodge made her warning in a damning report about failures at the Border Force - a Home Office agency tasked with protecting Britain's borders. Mrs Hodge said Border Force was unable to meet and check up to 90,000 private planes and private boats arriving in the UK each year - leaving the UK border 'vulnerable'. The report said: 'The information the Border Force receives on incoming private planes and boats is notably poor, and there is concern that those able to access private planes and boats can evade border checks. Mrs Hodge said: 'The Border Force prioritised passenger checks on arrival at the expense of other duties and weakened the security of our borders.
