HC Deb 03 February 2000 vol 343 c700W
Mr. Hope

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress he has made on consultation with regard to implementation of the provisions of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 relating to(a) civil penalty, (b) flexibility and passenger information, (c) facilities to be provided by port operators and (d) charging for additional immigration services.

Mrs. Roche

Constructive and detailed discussions are proceeding with representative organisations. As part of that process, consultation papers relating to each of these provisions have been circulated to those representatives and others in the industry. I have placed copies of the documents in the Library.
