§ 32. Mr. Collinsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will endeavour to obtain for British subjects the same facilities for entry into Japan which are at present enjoyed by United States citizens.
§ Lord John HopeI understand that United States citizens can obtain gratis non-immigrant visas valid for any number of entries into Japan during a period of one year. In September, 1952, the Japanese Government were unwilling to accept our suggestion that ordinary visas should be valid for any number of journeys during a period of one year at the fee normally charged for a single journey visa. We have now asked them to reconsider the matter.
