00:00Well the first thing to say is that we've deported 16,400 people in the first six months of our
00:10Labour government being in office, which is more than has been done for nearly five years. We are
00:16determined to enforce immigration rules and standards and that includes cracking down on
00:22illegal working with the most visits and arrests of any January since 2019. If you think that you
00:30can exploit illegal workers, pay them virtually nothing, leave them in squalid living conditions
00:36and break the law, then we will come and find you and you will face the full force of the law.
