§ Mr. WareingTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reasons have been given by the United States Government for not applying reciprocity in respect of visa requirements on British citizens travelling to the United States of America; what recent discussions there have been with the US authorities on this matter; and if he will make a statement. [21241]
§ Mr. BaldryThere has for some years been reciprocity for visitors, in that neither country requires visas of the other's citizens who wish to make short-term visits. Similarly, both countries require visas of people wishing to work or settle in the other.
