"e-Borders is a cross-cutting initiative co-ordinated by the Home Office in partnership with key border control, law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The e-Borders system will identify people who have boarded transport destined for the UK, check them automatically against databases of individuals who pose a security risk, and keep a simple electronic record of entry into the country. The system will also enable authorities to record people leaving the UK, helping to identify those who overstay. "
