Passengers who pay by cash to travel to the Island aren't being investigated, according to Justice and Home Affairs Minister Jane Poole-Wilson.

Mrs Poole-Wilson said visitors identities aren't checked at present.
She added cash purchases are often linked to criminality and that criminals could take advantage of the system:
