"The head of Interpol has told of his 'surprise' at shortcomings in the passport controls at UK borders.
Ron Noble, an American, said he was not asked for his passport serial number when he entered the UK.
'It's been proven in every single terrorist incident that a fraudulent passport has been used,' Mr Noble told a House of Lords committee.
He said officials should record and check the numbers against Interpol's list of five million stolen passports. "
