Letter: Spot checks at UK points of entry
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: According to Colin Brown's report (3 August) Britain is to be allowed to maintain passport checks on European Community nationals. If this means only that EC nationals, like United Kingdom nationals, will be required to satisfy immigration officers of their national status, then this is permissible. But if it means that non-British EC nationals are subject to interrogation by immigration officials from which UK nationals are exempt, this is surely in contravention of everything the EC has come to stand for.
Yours sincerely,
