§ 74. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has had any communication with regard to the proposed stamping of the passports of British nationals by the French Government; and whether this stamp will affect those who hold or have held positions of employment in France?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONTwo notes have been received from the French Government in regard to the admission of foreigners desirous of employment in France. The Regulations are briefly as follow:
Any foreigner desirous of entering France with a view to employment in that country must be in possession of a contract of employment endorsed by the competent department of the French Ministry of Labour or Ministry of Agriculture. A medical certificate of fitness issued by a medical officer approved by a French Consulate must accompany the contract.
Persons who are already in employment in France and who have been on a visit to their own country need not, on their return to France to the same employment, produce a new contract of employment. They must, however, produce evidence that they have been granted leave and also a letter of recall from their employer endorsed by one of the above-mentioned French departments.
