I refer the Rt. Honourable member for Dover to the answer of 12 February which states:
We have also invested tens of millions of pounds in new infrastructure to enhance border security, with all freight vehicles entering the UK screened using a range of techniques, which include using carbon dioxide detectors and motion sensors as well as sniffer dogs to detect clandestine on board lorries.
