from one month in advance of the required date.
- Financial - Affiliated APPCGs may apply to the BGIPU
Secretariat for financial assistance to facilitate inward and outward
parliamentary exchanges with their countries. Financial assistance cannot
be assured without prior approval. Please contact the BGIPU Secretariat
to apply for assistance.
- Party Affiliation - If a group of 2 or more travels
with support from the BGIPU, it should be composed of members of more
than one party.
- Days in Parliament - Subject to staff availability
and sufficient notice, the BGIPU Secretariat can arrange a short programme
of a tour, discussions and meetings in Parliament, which could include
a lunch or reception, for groups of parliamentarians visiting as guests
of affiliated APPCGs. Costs will be set against the above annual limits.
- Country reports - if received on time, are included
in the IPU Annual Report.
- Groups planning visits to their countries are asked to inform the
Secretariat. This is to help avoid clashes with the IPU programme and
will enable the Secretariat to provide details of IPU contacts that
might assist with the visit.
