Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl Ferrers (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 13 December 2007.


Immigration: X-rays

Question
My Lords, is it a fact that all our immigration controls now go to Brussels as a result of the Lisbon treaty?
Answer

My Lords, that is not correct. We are not fully part of the Schengen agreement. Although the EU has issued a procedures directive there is further work to be done. We have not yet decided fully that dental X-rays are the right procedure and therefore we do not think it is wise to include those EU changes in our rules at the moment. We shall have to wait until we have further consultation.
