Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government in respect of whether the determination of which nationals of third countries will require visas to enter the United Kingdom should be made by the Council of the union acting by a qualified majority after 1 January 1996.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Government accept article 100c—to be inserted into the treaty of Rome when the treaty on European union enters into force—which provides for member states to agree a common list of countries whose nationals will require a visa when crossing the external borders of member states.
