asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when he intends to open negotiations with the Italian Government for the abolition of visa formalities for British travellers to Italy and vice versa.

Mr. Mayhew

As announced in the communiqué issued on the conclusion of talks between my right hon.

Negotiations will be started at once.
