Maybe it's me, but I would expect that a upvc window frame with weep holes on the outside, should have weep holes on the inside too.

A frame that I ordered ( and have had some manufacturing issues with) has been supplied like this, so I wanted a confirmation before I hear back from the supplier.

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm also finding it hard to go by your description.
If you can try and upload a picture, that would be really helpful. There should be a button below the text entry box to 'Upload a File', or you can simply copy and paste an image into the box.

Because it can be difficult to ascertain the experience level of posters, we could interpret your question in a number of ways.

You could be describing trickle vents, in which case; yes, there should be some inside the frame, if there is one on the outside.

Or, if you meant drainage weep holes; then no, there wouldn't be anything inside the frame.

Unless you meant inside the frame, below an opening casement; where yes, there should be some drains into the frame!

I hope you can see how difficult this can be, with limited information! :)
 
Is this the window?

Success! Thanks Grinch.
You'll note that one of the two outer weep holes has been made when the fabricator sneezed I think.
