HC Deb 04 May 1949 vol 464 c999
4. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now made arrangements to enable British citizens to make visits to Western Germany.

Mr. Mayhew

Arrangements agreed between the three Western Occupying Powers already exist for persons having business or compassionate grounds to visit Germany. The extension of these arrangements to cover certain other categories of visitors is under consideration and my right hon. Friend hopes to be able to make a statement shortly.

Mr. Turton

Can the Under-Secretary say what he means by "shortly"? Will it be before the holiday season is over or not?

Mr. Mayhew

Yes, Sir; it will.
