Stop slapping fines on innocent lorry drivers

The UK Government is being urged to scrap the fines which
have been imposed on innocent lorry drivers who are unwittingly bringing illegal
immigrants into the UK.
UKIP Transport spokesman Jill Seymour has called for penalties to be
abandoned until Britain ‘gets its house in order’ to tighten up security
breaches at the Channel Tunnel.
And she said the current legislation needed permanently amending to
ensure that, going forward, it was only targeting people-smugglers and not
snaring innocent truck drivers.
