HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 cc860-1W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent offers have been made to Warsaw pact countries to assist in strengthening internal political democracy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

We very much welcome steps taken in some Warsaw pact countries towards a more democratic system. We are glad to offer practical help where we can. We have, for example, established a "know-how fund" for Poland to help develop the skills needed to run a democratic and market-based economy.
