We're now ending our coveragepublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
We will now be bringing our live coverage of the debate on the Border, Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill to a close. Here's what we heard:
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper started the debate saying the bill's purpose was to "strengthen UK boarder security which has been weakened in recent years" and go after the "dangerous criminal gangs" that undermine it
- But the shadow home secretary, Chris Philp, said Labour's track-record on immigration since taking office "did not make for happy reading" and there was a 28% increase in people entering the country illegally compared to the same period 12 months ago
- Our political correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, described the debate a "tricky balancing act" for Cooper, adding that "political point scoring was the order of the day"
