These people are about to make the arduous forty hour coach trip to London in the hope of finding work – and a better standard of living. As more countries join the European Union, more borders are opening up to those who want to relocate. But free movement comes at a price. Amongst the genuine jobseekers entering the UK each year are a number of sex and violent offenders who come in undetected; while they may make the journey to Britain, their criminal records don’t. As the European Commission tries to work out a way of increasing information-sharing amongst its 25 member states, File on 4 asks is enough being done to monitor cross-border criminals? SIGNATURE TUNE ACTUALITY WITH TRACTOR PROSSER: We have got about seven projects on at the minute plus we’ve got a big project that we’ll be starting in about a month’s time.
