HC Deb 23 June 1926 vol 197 cc343-4
1. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give the House any particulars with regard to the recent Conference on passports and visas at Geneva; what conclusions were reached; whether the majority of the conference were in favour of the elimination of the visa; whether any definite resolutions were carried; and whether any date was suggested for the purpose of attempting to bring such resolutions into force in the different countries affected?

10. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Under-.Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information regarding the progress made at the Passport Conference which was held at Geneva last month, and the attitude taken by His Majesty's representative to the idea of the abolition of passports?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

The proceedings of the Passport Conference are being printed by the League of Nations and will be ready for publication by the end of the month. My hon. Friend will, I am sure, appreciate the difficulty of summarising these proceedings within the limits of the reply to a question. Copies of the publication will be made available to hon. Members in the Library of the House.
