§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)With the leave of the House, I wish to make a statement.
As from 31st March, British subjects resident in Great Britain will no longer require an exit permit or travel identity document for travel to and from the Channel Islands. It is expected that the number of holiday makers in the Islands will be limited by transport facilities rather than hotel and boarding house accommodation, and before they make final plans holiday makers should make certain from the transport companies that travel facilities will be available. Travel to Alderney will still be restricted, and persons wishing to travel there should apply, as at present, to the Home Office or the Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey.
