Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to make available resources, scientific expertise and technology through the Overseas Development Administration to Poland, for the purposes of environmental protection and pollution clean-up.

Mr. Waldegrave

We plan to discuss with the Polish authorities their general requirements for assistance including, where appropriate, measures to improve the environment. We have also sent a reconnaissance mission to look at the electricity generation sector, and the report will, inter alia, consider the environmental effects of the operation of the electricity utility.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much of the £50 million aid package to Poland is repayable.
