HC Deb 22 April 1991 vol 189 c875

Motion made, and Question put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 102(9) (European Standing Committees). That this House takes note of European Community Document No. 8353/90 on abolition of controls and formalities on cabin and checked baggage on intra-Community flights and sea crossings; supports the Government's intention to ensure that Member States retain the right to carry out checks at the internal border to protect society against illegal importations of drugs and other prohibited goods, to control immigration and to counteract terrorism and other serious crime; and notes with concern the practical and infrastructural problems for airports that could be caused by the draft proposals.—[Mr. Boswell.]

Question agreed to.
