HC Deb 20 March 1986 vol 94 c259W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make respresentations to the French Government regarding the level of fines on British lorry drivers in respect of deliveries, including lamb, from Britain to France.

Mr. Eggar

We are ready to intervene, as we have on several occasions in the past, on behalf of British nationals in cases where there is clear evidence of unfair penalties being levied by overseas authorities. I would be happy to look at any individual cases which the hon. Member may wish to draw to my attention.
