(asked on 6th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effect of the British-Irish Visa scheme on tourism.
This question was answered on 15th July 2015
The number of visitor visas issued to Chinese and Indian nationals has continued to increase year on year since 2012. This upward trend would appear to support the positive effect of the British-Irish Visa Scheme for visitor visas, as such visa holders are entitled to visit both the UK and Republic of Ireland.
