HC Deb 06 December 1954 vol 535 cc16-7W
38. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will consult the Government concerned with a view to the removal of the necessity for the use of ordinary passports to persons taking day trips to and from the Continent, by issuing special day passes on cross-Channel vessels in order to encourage this traffic.

Mr. Turton

I would refer to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade on 16th November to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Mr. Teeling). If a favourable decision is reached, an approach will be made to the Governments concerned.
