Mr. Havard: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures he has agreed with the French Government to ensure
that illegal immigration from the Calais area is not displaced to other routes. [125075]
Beverley Hughes: We have agreed with the French to establish juxtaposed controls at Dunkirk and Boulogne as well as Calais. This
will help counter immediate displacement from the Calais area by those seeking to use documents to board ferries. In addition those
hiding in freight traffic bound for the United Kingdom are being targeted by the use of UK personnel detection technology loaned to
French ports. Calais already has the capability to screen 100 per cent. of freight and screening will be introduced at Dunkirk and
Cherbourg.
We continue to meet regularly with the French to discuss how these projects and others relating to increased cross channel border
security can best be taken forward. We are also in the process of providing new detection technology to Belgian ports.
