§ Mr. John Huntasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why foreign nationals holding valid work permits for the United Kingdom are required to obtain a re-entry visa from the Passport Office before paying a short visit overseas.
§ Dr. SummerskillA work permit does not relieve a person who requires a visa to enter this country from the obligation to have one before he comes here or returns from a visit overseas. Re-entry visas are issued in the United Kingdom in suitable cases as a convenience to people wishing to make a short break in their stay here.
