HC Deb 28 March 1996 vol 274 cc1228-9

That this House takes note of European Community Document No. 9674/95, relating to controls at the internal frontiers of the Community; agrees that the United Kingdom's frontier controls on the movement of persons are essential for controlling immigration and to help combat terrorism, drug trafficking and other serious crime; agrees that the Government should take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the maintenance of controls at the United Kingdom's frontiers with other member states of the European Union; and therefore supports the Government's opposition to the Commission's proposals.—[Dr. Liam Fox.]

Question agreed to.
