HC Deb 07 December 1920 vol 135 c1884
3. Mr. SUGDEN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, now that other European countries are prepared to lessen the cost of passports and visas, he has proffered to reduce the cost of the same in this country in the spirit of reciprocity?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I am not aware that other European countries are yet prepared to reduce the cost of passports or visas. If and when the resolutions passed at the recent Conference in Paris are adopted, a uniform fee will be charged for visas by the various countries concerned.

Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAY

Is there any suggestion that visas will be abolished altogether?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I should greatly welcome that myself.
