HC Deb 20 March 1934 vol 287 cc1042-3W
Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will take steps to inform every British subject who, under passport, leaves this country to take up work in Russia of the details of the regulations affecting the transmission of money from Russia to the United Kingdom?

Mr. EDEN

Passports are no longer specially endorsed for Soviet Russia, the practice now being to endorse them for all European countries including Soviet Russia and Turkey. No special opportunity therefore arises to warn British subjects, who are proceeding to Soviet Russia, of the regulations in force there. A copy of the passport and visa regulations, however, is attached to all pass- ports when they are issued or renewed. These regulations contain a warning with regard to the transmission of money from Russia to the United Kingdom.
