§ Mr. Greg KnightTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made on the negotiations for Lomé IV.
§ Mr. Chris PattenWork on the renegotiation of Lomé IV has continued at official level since the first ACP/EC ministerial negotiating meeting in February. I expect to attend the second ACP/EC ministerial negotiating meeting in Brussels in early June, where I hope further progress will be made.
