HC Deb 06 June 1872 vol 211 c1277
MR. BAILLIE COCHRANE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Why all sailing vessels, yachts included, are subjected to quarantine on entering any French Ports unless provided with a clean Bill of health, while steamers are permitted to land their passengers without any restriction; and, whether any remonstrance has been made to the French Government on the subject of this regulation?

VISCOUNT ENFIELD

I am glad, Sir, to be able to inform my hon. Friend that by a notice in the French Journal Officiel of yesterday's date vessels coming from the British Isles will no longer be required to produce a Bill of health in the Channel and Atlantic ports of France. This applies equally to all craft.
