§ Sir Michael McNair-WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice his Department is giving to those people considering travel to East European countries; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SainsburyThe Department's general advice to those who inquire is that there is no reason not to visit eastern European countries but that visitors should if possible avoid demonstrations and large crowds. Petrol may be in short supply.
The Department has published a warning to travellers considering visiting Romania that many facilities, in particular medical facilities, are stretched and may not be readily available.
