HC Deb 02 December 1925 vol 188 cc2262-3W
Viscount SANDON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is taking any steps to remove the restrictions and disabilities as to the extra cost of visas to British subjects in Bulgaria wishing to visit Rumania?

Mr. McNEILL

The high fees levied by Roumanian Consular officers for visas granted to British subjects, not only in Bulgaria but at all European posts, were recently made the subject of representations to the Roumanian Government, who have now announced their intention of reducing the fee to 10 gold lei. In a despatch dated 13th October His Majesty's Chargé d' Affaires at Sofia reported that the new rates had been Introduced by the Roumanian Legation there.
