    It seems remarkable that the fee is going down £5. Maybe the government want us to leave.

    No doubt the cut in fees will be recouped by the increase in takings from the Air Passenger Duty raised with more passengers flying.
    Going down the Oteley Road to see the Shrewsbury aces! :T

    Perhaps they were charging too much for the thing in the first place. :) Supposedly to pay for the failed e-Passport systems and better Consular services. Ha!
    Perhaps people were asking questions...
