HC Deb 12 January 1989 vol 144 c728W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which person or body, under the terms of the treaty of Rome is the final determinant of what constitutes an internal frontier in the context of article 8A of that treaty; and whether any such determination has been made or is under consideration.

Mrs. Chalker

The European Court of Justice is the final arbiter on questions of interpretation of the treaty of Rome. We are not aware of any determination being made in the terms suggested.
