HC Deb 18 November 1986 vol 105 c92W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will arrange for regional passport and inquiry offices to accept written applications from those wishing to apply for visa exemption stamps.

Mr. Waddington

No. It is more economical to have only a single address for postal applications.

Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will arrange for immigration officers at ports to stamp visa exemption stamps in the passports of those eligible for such stamps as they leave the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

Passengers whose passports have not been stamped to show that they are exempt from a visa requirement either on entry or while in this country may obtain exempt endorsements on departure where adequate arrangements can be made to establish exemption.
