Closed petition Disband the Border Force and pass its functions to the Ministry of Defence.

Closed on

The current border force is subject to disruption by industrial action, this is not appropriate for 21st century travel patterns where people travel 365/24/7.

When disruptions occur with the current system this presents a bad impression of our country to incoming visitors, which will discourage both tourism and business related visits, thus having an adverse effect on our economy.
