HC Deb 04 May 1988 vol 132 cc473-4W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to assess whether the border checkpoints on Gibraltar are working effectively and that staff are able and have powers to detain persons where this is considered necessary.

Mrs. Chalker

My right hon. and learned Friend is satisfied with the effectiveness of the frontier controls. We are currently looking for ways of streamlining them.
