§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the United States embassy in London on the burdens imposed on the embassy visa section by travel firms who are charging for visas to visit the United States where these are no longer required.
§ Mr. SainsburyNone. The United States visa waiver scheme applies only to visitors travelling by designated carriers. In other cases, visas are still required. We understand that some travel agents charge an administrative fee for obtaining visas.
