HC Deb 02 May 1990 vol 171 c568W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to increase consular and commercial representation in eastern Europe; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply that I gave him on 5 March 1990 to a question on the same subject.

Since then, an additional three commercial posts have been created at embassies in eastern Europe. Consular and visa staffing levels are being monitored continuously. Reinforcement will be provided where necessary.
