HC Deb 12 March 1930 vol 236 cc1292-3
3. Mr. DOUGLAS HACKING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the effect upon the number of tourists from the United States of America entering the 13 European countries consequent upon their decision to abolish visas or visa fees in the case of United States of America citizens entering those countries?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

The only information at present available is that in regard to Germany, which shows that after the abolition of the visa fee for United States citizens in September, 1925, the number of American visitors to Germany increased considerably. I should observe that this increase coincided with a similar, though smaller, increase in the number of United States visitors to this country and to Europe generally.
