VISA CHARGES FOR CHERNOBYL CHILDREN

Early day motion 779, tabled 27 November 2012 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House is saddened by the decision of the Government to continue the practice of charging for entry visas for visiting Chernobyl children suffering from the effects of low level radiation who are situated in either Belarus or Ukraine, a charge no other EU country levies; and calls on the Government to cease such charges forthwith and to refund any made over the past five years.
