New Delhi: Maintaining that infiltration across the line of control was a matter of "great concern", Britain on July 3 called for its "significant reduction" and urged Pakistan to control cross-border terrorism.

"Controlling infiltration across the LoC remains a matter of great concern to Britain and this is something I emphasised on the government of Pakistan," British Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon told reporters after an hour-long one-to-one meeting with Defence Minister George Fernandes.

Hoon arrived in New Delhi from Islamabad after talks with President Pervez Musharraf and others.

Heading a high-level Defence delegation on a two-day visit, Hoon made it clear that London "will not tolerate" raising of funds on its soil for use of terrorism abroad declaring that the British government had specifically changed its laws to arm the police and authorities with powers to deal with organisations indulging in such fund- raising.
