The Earl of Carlisleasked Her Majesty's Government:
How much money they have spent on the security of the Baltic States since independence was restored in 1991.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)It has been the practice in the past not to release details of military assistance provided to other countries on the grounds that this information is confidential between governments and disclosure would risk damaging our international relations. This practice is now being reviewed against the background of the Government's commitment to openness. I will write to the nobel Lord once the review is complete.
