HC Deb 02 March 1992 vol 205 c41W
Mr. Adley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what number of immigration and customs officials will be permanently in place upon the opening of the channel tunnel.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The staffing levels which will be required when the channel tunnel opens will depend upon the nature and frequency of the services which will use it at that time and the estimated passenger volumes. These are matters about which officials are in touch with the service operators, but it is still too early to put a figure on the staffing requirement.
