Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will bring forward proposals to enable Chinese nationals to make a single application for a UK and a Schengen visa.
We have on 30 June rolled out an online system enabling applicants in China simultaneously to complete a UK and Schengen Visa application form. Talk are ongoing with European partners about further streamlining visa processes with Schengen zone countries to make trips to the UK even easier for Chinese visitors.
