A DECISION to reintroduce exit checks at the UK border has been welcomed by Keighley MP Kris Hopkins.

Home Secretary Theresa May told the Commons the move was part of the Government's fight against global terrorism.

Mr Hopkins said: "This will allow the Home Office to screen those who leave the UK and identify threats and persons of interest to the Border Force, immigration enforcement and other bodies.

"It is a sensible move and has my full support."
