§ Sir C. Rawsonasked the Prime Minister whether facilities can be given to firms who wish to conduct their staff parties to Paris during the holiday weekends for educational purposes, which they have been doing for some years past, to secure temporary passports at a reduced rate, instead of being put to the expense of obtaining ordinary passports?
§ Mr. Butler:I regret that it is not possible to arrange for the issue of temporary passports at reduced rates to meet the requirements of parties proceeding abroad for week-end visits. Certain weekend "no passport" arrangements are available which appear to furnish the facilities which my hon. Friend desires. Full particulars can be obtained from the railway and shipping companies concerned.
