§ Q35. Mr. DalyellTo ask the Prime Minister whether she will raise with President Gorbachev technical co-operation between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom on environmental problems, including cellulose-related pollution of Lake Baikal.
§ The Prime MinisterI was not able to raise environmental questions in any great detail with President Gorbachev in the time available. We are of course aware that the environmental problems of the Soviet Union are serious and we are at present considering what role we might best play in the ecological research centre that it is proposing to establish at Lake Baikal.
