Good morning. Long queues of up to two and a half hours at Heathrow

:00:23.:00:26.

airport are causing huge damage to the reputation of the UK three

:00:26.:00:30.

months before the start of the Olympic Games. That's the view of

:00:30.:00:33.

the chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, who has now called the

:00:33.:00:35.

Immigration Minister to give evidence to MPs about border

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:47.

controls. Our correspondent Richard As you say, some up passengers in

:00:47.:00:51.

the past week have had to wait over two hours to get through

:00:51.:00:56.

immigration at Heathrow. The airport's owners say that the

:00:56.:00:59.

situation they are becoming increasingly frustrated about but

:00:59.:01:02.

it's beyond their control so the pressure is on the Home Office and

:01:02.:01:08.

the UK border agency to tackle the problem. This was Heathrow's

:01:08.:01:13.

Terminal 5 last night, frustrated passengers in lengthy queues. Some

:01:13.:01:16.

waited more than two Abbas to get to immigration where they found

:01:16.:01:22.

only a handful of desks Open -- two hours. The UK border agency says it

:01:22.:01:26.

tries to minimise disruption but can't compromise security. He

:01:26.:01:30.

throws owners say it an acceptable, though, and MPs are looking for

:01:30.:01:35.

answers, too. The call for the government is quite clear. You

:01:35.:01:40.

either get more resources to deal with the issue now, not just after

:01:40.:01:47.

27th July for the Olympic period, or you look after we checks have

:01:47.:01:53.

been reimposed. Damian green has now been called to appear before

:01:53.:01:56.

the Home Affairs Select Committee next month to account for the

:01:56.:02:00.

problems. With the Olympics looming, he will have to reassure MPs the

:02:00.:02:04.

border agency can cope. And it seems like these won't be repeated

:02:04.:02:10.

all through the summer. Well, I've spoken to the

:02:10.:02:14.

authorities at Heathrow who say there were longer than usual delays

:02:14.:02:19.

this morning but things are back to normal. The problem, it seems, no

:02:19.:02:22.

one has the confidence that these long delays of three hours won't

:02:23.:02:26.

happen again. Richard, thank you. A senior

:02:26.:02:28.

Conservative has suggested there could be a Whitehall investigation

:02:28.:02:31.

into whether the Culture Secretary breached the ministerial code after

:02:31.:02:35.

the Leveson Inquiry confirmed it could not rule on his actions.

:02:35.:02:37.

Jeremy Hunt is under pressure over his contacts with News Corporation

:02:37.:02:42.

as the company sought to take full control of BSkyB. Our political

:02:42.:02:50.

correspondent Alan Soady is here. What happens now? From the

:02:50.:02:54.

Government's perspective, they would like everyone to wait until

:02:54.:02:56.

Jeremy hands goes to the Leverson Inquiry into press standards in a

:02:56.:03:01.

couple of weeks' time and gives his account, of events. And they feel

:03:01.:03:06.

that will be enough to clear his name in this -- Jeremy Hunter. And

:03:06.:03:14.

show he didn't do any special favours for the Murdochs and BSkyB.

:03:14.:03:18.

Lord Levison has not done the Government a favour. He has said he

:03:18.:03:21.

will not civic culture secretary any earlier, so this drags on for

:03:21.:03:25.

at least another couple of weeks and he has said is not his job to

:03:25.:03:28.

decide whether a minister has breached the ministerial code of

:03:28.:03:32.

conduct, and that is what there is pressure from the Government's

:03:32.:03:36.

opponents to have a investigation into. The government is saying, in

:03:36.:03:41.

due course, if there are still outstanding issues after Jeremy

:03:41.:03:43.

Hunt has been to the Leverson Inquiry, if perhaps they could be

:03:43.:03:48.

something else. Opponents say, why not just get on with it now?

:03:48.:03:51.

Thank you. The European Union foreign policy chief, Catherine

:03:51.:03:54.
