§ Mr. FraserTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will take steps to bring about the mutual abolition of visas for travel between the United Kingdom and Hungary.
§ Mr. MaudeThere are no plans at present to abolish visas for Hungarians travelling to the United Kingdom. However, we recognise that the situation in eastern Europe is changing rapidly. Although the final direction of these changes is far from clear, we welcome the moves towards greater democracy and freer movement of people. We shall continue to watch the situation closely and will adjust our policies in the light of developments, keeping in touch with our European Community partners.
