HC Deb 07 November 1988 vol 140 c68W
Dr. Dafydd Elis Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what studies have been undertaken or commissioned by his Department into the development of new transfrontier control mechanisms for dangerous and radioactive materials with the advent of the single European market in 1992.

Mr. Portillo

The aim in 1992 will be to reduce frontier controls, not increase them. The safety regulations which cover the movement of dangerous and radioactive materials do not depend on frontier checks.
