Euro-visa confusion
artdoc April=1992

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.
