  • 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.
