§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on current developments in eastern Europe as they affect policies to mitigate greenhouse global warming.
§ Mr. Trippier[holding answer 8 December 1989]: We believe that international action is essential for an effective response to global warming. Several countries from eastern Europe already participate in the work of the inter-governmental panel on climate change, and we would welcome any increased involvement by eastern European countries in this work whether that resulted from the changes those countries are undergoing or any other reason.
