EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Channel Tunnel (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1994 to provide that there will be no control zone at the station of London-Waterloo in respect of trains travelling between Belgium and the United Kingdom and to prevent continuing international provision in respect of controls exercised at that station having the force of law in the United Kingdom from 14th November 2007, from which date controls will instead be carried out at London-St Pancras. Article 2(3) of this Order applies the Race Relations Act 1976 to the carrying out of functions by immigration officers in a control zone outside the UK.
