INSULAT GENERAL DE FRANCE

GPO BOX 13
N°878
Madam,
REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISI
HONG NG 8th December 1983
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt
of your letter dated November 25th, recalling your previous one
dated July 10th, 1983.
The information given to you by this Consulate
General was accurate, namely, that holders of British passports
do not require a visa for a stay in France not exceeding three
months.
<
It is most unfortunate that you were denied
entry into France and escorted to a flight back to London. I
sincerely regret this most unfortunate incident, but this Consulate
General cannot be held responsible for mistakes committed by
members of the "Police de l'Air et des Frontières". Errors of
the same nature are made in any country by officials in charge
not fully aware of the rules and regulations.
Your case has been brought by this Consulate
General to the attention of the Charles de Gaulle Airport autho-
rities.
With the renewed expression of my sympathy,
I am,
Yours faithfully,
Le Consal Général de Frenos
Mrs. CHAN Ip Yuk Sim
