Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 5 Rhagfyr 1973.
Part IV of the Bill includes a number of miscellaneous and consequential provisions of which perhaps the most notable are Clause 24, providing for the incorporation in the United Kingdom of the tunnel between the three-mile limit and the frontier, and for certain problems of jurisdiction, and Clause 25 dealing with policing, frontier controls, and so on; Clause 29, dealing with railway safety, on which I should perhaps say that the Railways Inspectorate of my Department has been, and will be in close touch throughout with the design and proposed operation of the tunnel; Clause 32, which deals with the taxation of the British Board's share of the receipts of the authority; Clause 38 and Schedule 5, which deal with provisions for protecting the interests of certain affected undertakings; and Clauses 33 and 34, to which I should like to refer in rather greater detail.
