clandestine entrant BrE

Neither of them had any idea that the British government was planning to end its warm welcome for clandestine entrants.

They are known and exploited to the full by clandestine entrants and their organisers.

The numbers of clandestine entrants breaching their security measures remains unacceptably high.

He was now a "clandestine entrant."

Eurotunnel has already spent £3 million on improving security measures but this has not been sufficient to prevent increasing numbers of clandestine entrants arriving.

Officers also conduct risk-led interceptions for controlled drugs, cash, tobacco, alcohol, firearms, offensive weapons, prohibited goods, counterfeit goods and clandestine entrants.

X/Gamma Ray Scanners and CO2 probes used to detect the exhaled breath of clandestine entrants in the trailers of vehicles.

There is also a significant risk to the safety of the tunnel itself since those clandestine entrants who smoke while concealed in or near inflammable cargoes will pose a clear risk.

Total annual costs Option 1 Eurotunnel is currently liable for the detention and removal costs of those clandestine entrants they are responsible for bringing into the United Kingdom.

It is also common for Immigration Service staff to find clandestine entrants concealed in freight shuttles declared by Eurotunnel to have been checked, and this demonstrates the inadequacy of the current security arrangements.

But liability for detention and removal costs and civil penalties could be avoided by the introduction of more effective arrangements leading to a reduction in the number of clandestine entrants able to board the shuttles.

It therefore appears necessary to introduce a sanction for failure to take adequate steps to prevent the carriage of clandestine entrants, and to set out in a Code of Practice the appropriate measures to be taken.

The number of fines issued to hauliers for "clandestine entrants" has more than tripled in just three years, new figures show, with drivers facing on the spot fines of up to £2,000 for each person found inside their vehicles.

About $1.8 million has been levied thus far, and a spokesman for Mr. Blair said today, "As a result of that, there's been a 49 percent reduction in the number of clandestine entrants discovered in vehicles in this country."

Teams of staff carry out checks on freight, along with other methods, to detect clandestine entrants trying to avoid immigration controls.

When the vehicle driver or company has no effective system to protect vehicles from being used by clandestine entrants, or if they fail to operate the system properly, the UKBA will impose a fine - known as a civil penalty.

If your vehicle is found to contain clandestine entrants you could face a fine of up to £2,000 for each entrant.

The law that allows civil penalty fines to be imposed for carrying a clandestine entrant applies to all road vehicles and rail transport and applies to all arrivals into the UK from all European sea ports and on Eurotunnel.

If you find clandestine entrants in or on your vehicle after arrival in the UK contact the local police who will inform the UKBA.

The UKBA has an accreditation scheme whereby road haulage companies who will not be fined in the event that clandestine entrants are discovered in or on their vehicles.

Road transport companies and their drivers must secure vehicles coming into the UK to stop 'clandestine entrants'.

A clandestine entrant is a person who hides in or on a vehicle to avoid going through UK border control.

If you don't secure your vehicle, and you're found carrying clandestine entrants into the UK, you'll get a fine (also known as a 'civil penalty').

The police will take the driver's details and your company's details, and tell Border Force about the clandestine entrants.

You and your driver may get letters from the clandestine entrant civil penalty team, which is part of Border Force, asking for information about the security system in place on that day.
