§ 22. Mr. G. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made in his discussions on the opening up of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to United Kingdom visitors who are independent of any sponsoring organisation.
§ Lord John HopeMy right hon. Friend would naturally welcome any development which made it less difficult for unescorted British subjects to visit Russia. The Soviet Government have not, however, yet shown themselves willing to welcome this form of tourism.
§ Mr. JegerCan the Joint Under-Secretary say whether discussions are still continuing towards that end?
§ Mr. K. ThompsonWhere does the hon. Gentleman want to go—to Spain or Russia?
§ Lord John HopeThere are no discussions going on at the moment because there is nobody to discuss it with. We are ready, if other people are.
