HC Deb 17 March 1948 vol 448 c253W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider extending the regulations so as to allow ordinary visits, say, once a year, by British subjects to their German relations in the British and U.S. zones without the production of a doctor's certificate or other evidence of compassionate grounds; and whether he is aware that such British visitors would make no claim on travel rations, accommodation or foreign exchange.

Mr. Mayhew

We are reviewing the regulations covering private visits to the British zone of Germany to see whether it is possible to allow visits on reasonable family or personal grounds, and my right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement shortly. The regulations covering visits to the American zone are not within his jurisdiction.
