Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 October 2024
Debate
Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (Juxtaposed Controls) (Amendment) Order 2024Contribution
Government officials will separately delimit an additional control zone at the western docks by way of an administrative arrangement. In that control zone, French officers can exercise their full range of immigration frontier powers in the same way as they do in the control zone at the eastern docks. They can also carry and store their service weapons, subject to strict safeguards as they do in the existing control zone. The circulation area in which PAF officers can travel between control zones will also be delimited by way of a clear map of the relevant area to assist everybody who is examining this issue. Additionally, the conditions under which PAF officers may carry their service weapons on any journey through the circulation zone will be set out in a service weapons agreement between authorities.
