HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 c1503W
Mr. Cocks

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the position of British and Allied subjects in the International Zone at Tangier; and as to whether they have been refused exit permits?

Mr. Butler

The position of British and Allied nationals at Tangier remains as it was prior to the outbreak of war. Persons desiring to leave the International Zone do not require exit permits, but owing to the present situation in North Africa delays have occurred in obtaining visas to enter neighbouring territories.
