§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what action he proposes to take to ensure the harmonisation of United Kingdom and French customs controls on Channel tunnel trains.
§ Mr. Brooke[pursuant to his reply, 24 November 1986, c. 80]: We have agreed with the French that frontier controls for the shuttle trains shall be juxtaposed on entrance to the tunnel in the direction of travel: no decisions have yet been taken about the controls for through trains. However, the arrangements for customs controls are to form part of a protocol to the treaty covering all frontier controls, and this protocol is currently under discussion.
