Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Consular Fees Regulations 1981 prescribe the manner in which all fees taken by persons authorised by the Secretary of State to exercise consular functions, or functions in the United Kingdom which correspond with consular functions, shall be levied, accounted for and applied, and may be remitted.
These Regulations amend the 1981 Regulations so that all monies received in respect of such fees must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
