The Home Office has continued to fail to deliver digital border programmes for nearly 20 years, with continuous delays and additional costs, a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report has found.
The department originally launched an e-Borders programme in 2003, aiming to improve the use of information to track people across borders, which cost £830m and failed to deliver.
It then launched a replacement programme, Digital Services at the Border (DSAB), in 2014, which was originally due to be complete in 2019, but also failed to deliver and reset the programme.
