In answer to a parliamentary question from Teddy Taylor MP, Peter Lloyd, Home Office minister for immigration, said that it was Home Office policy to "resist proposals for visitors to other EC countries on visas thereby to have the right to enter Britain." He denied that the mutual recognition of visas contained in the draft external frontiers convention implied such a right.

The drafters of the convention, and the interior ministers of other EC countries, would be surprised to hear this, since the convention is quite clear that holders of a "Euro-visa" would,
once they were admitted to one EC country, have the right to travel throughout the Community for up to three months.
