HC Deb 17 November 1937 vol 329 c370
3. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of visas issued at the British Passport Control Office, New York, for the six months ended to the last convenient date, and comparable figures for the corresponding period of 1936?

Viscount Cranborne

The number of visas granted at the British Passport Control Office, New York, for the six months ending 31st August, 1937, was 33,659, as compared with a total of 28,660 granted at the same post for the corresponding period of 1936.

Mr. Day

Can the Noble Lord give any reason for this increase?

Viscount Cranborne

Probably it is due partly to the Coronation.
