SEASIDE AND TOURISTS
Britain may have more ports on the South Coast in time for next summer's Continental traffic. It is hoped to gain £.5,000,000 worth of foreign tourist traffic by this step.
Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Bournemouth and Ramsgate are not "approved ports" at ( present. This means that there are no aliens contiol offices at these centres, and foreigners may not bo landed there oven for a day.
An official of the Brighton Corporation said the corporation, supported by the other towns, had secured from tho Home Office a concession that, while aliens must bo landed at Newhaven or Folkestone, they might return from tho seaside resorts. "This does not satisfy us," tho official added. "Wo want legislation to turn tho great holiday centres of Britain into approved ports."
