HC Deb 27 May 1924 vol 174 cc220-1
82. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider making a suggestion to the League of Nations that a lead should be given by that body in the direction of bringing back passports to the methods in use before the War?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Ponsonby)

The League of Nations have already given the lead. His Majesty's Government are doing all that is possible to carry out, as far as they are concerned, the resolutions of the Paris Passport Conference of 1920, which was held under the auspices of the League.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Yes, but have any practical results been achieved by this lead upon the lines suggested by my question?
