HC Deb 16 December 1925 vol 189 cc1448-9W
Mr. S. MITCHELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, now that the Locarno Treasy has been signed, if he will make representations to the several authorities for the discontinuance of the necessity for passports?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The immigration regulations in force in practically all countries in the world, including Great Britain, make it essential that all travellers arriving at the ports or frontiers should be, in possession of docu- ments establishing their identity and nationality. A passport is the most satisfactory document of this character, and its possession is therefore in the interests of the traveller in order to facilitate his journeys.
