Frontier laws
artdoc May=1991
Statewatch no.1 March/April 1991

On 1 December 1990 an Order came into force applying immigration and Prevention
of Terrorism Act controls to the Channel Tunnel. The Order was made by the Home
Secretary under Section 11 of the Channel Tunnel Act 1987. This Order provides
for a limited system of police and immigration controls at the UK end of the
Tunnel between now and its full opening in January 1993. It thus extends to the
Tunnel police and immigration officers power to detain passengers and crews.
Later further Orders will be made to provide the full range of prevention of
terrorism and immigration controls. Home Office, press release, 30.11.90.

Our work is only possible with your support.
