HC Deb 23 November 1927 vol 210 cc1768-9
10. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any negotiations are taking place between this country and foreign Governments for the further elimination of the visas of British passports and those of the nationals of the countries concerned?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I hope shortly to conclude an agreement with Germany for the abolition of visas. I have also approached the Czechoslovak Government with a view to the abolition of visas, and am awaiting their reply.

Colonel DAY

Will the Foreign Secretary say whether any steps are being taken to reduce the charges on the visas?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

That is a separate question which I cannot answer. It is totally different from the question on the Paper, and I cannot answer it without notice.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Is it not more important to do away with the visas?
