§ 70. Mr. G. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what new restrictions have been imposed on the validity of visas for entry into Spain from Gibraltar.
§ Mr. Ian HarveyAn arrangement was made recently with the Spanish Government under which visas were reciprocally made valid for any number of entries in a period of one year. Recently holders of British passports containing the new type of visa were in some cases not allowed to enter Spain at La Linea. Representations were made to the Spanish Government who have just replied to the following effect: the new visa will be valid for three entries and exits per quarter at the Gibraltar frontier and for an unlimited number of entries and exits at all other frontiers.
I hope that this will prevent the recurrence of the unfortunate incidents which have occurred at the Gibraltar frontier.
