In his role of Minister for Countering Illegal Migration, Michael has visited a number of airports and ports to speak to Border Force Officers.

As a Minister in the Home Office, my focus has changed slightly from the legal perspective as Solicitor General, to a more overall view of crime and law and order.

Earlier in February Michael was delighted to open the newly refurbished Post Office in Corfe Mullen. 

Michael was delighted to meet with members of the local branches of the Royal British Legion (RBL) earlier this month. 

Several local business owners attended the British Holiday & Home Parks Association conference in London recently. 

Michael went to France, to see first-hand the Franco-British co-operation that is being done to combat smuggling networks and illegal Channel crossings.

Michael spoke on behalf of the Government in an important debate about knife crime.
