Dover passport delays

SIR – To solve the problem at Dover, why not return to the former system of passport control, with French checks carried out in France, so that the chaos caused will be experienced in the country that caused it.

SIR – I assume that the delays at Dover are due to the thousands of British tourists with forged passports being turned away at the French checkpoints. Am I correct?

SIR – Typical of the French, to cut off their nose to spite their face.

Trade between countries is of mutual benefit and should be as free flowing as possible. Tourists spend money in the destination country. A proportion of those frustrated by the French inadequacies at Dover will be holidaying in France.

They clearly hate us for leaving the EU, but when EU states act like this, the British decision is understandable. Douglas Warren

SIR – I wonder how many of those travellers desperate to get to Europe but stuck in jams around Dover voted for Brexit, to take back control. Benjamin LC Smith

Hedge End, Hampshire

SIR – I have no sympathy for people stuck in queues at Dover trying to get across the Channel to go on holiday.

Why did everyone decide that they must travel on the first day of the school holidays? Schools are closed for weeks, so staggering departure would seem to be a sensible thing to do.

SIR – If only the French were as good at stopping people coming this way. Stephen Castle
