HC Deb 29 March 1990 vol 170 c275W
Mrs. Gorman

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is his latest assessment of trade opportunities with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Mr. Redwood

No assessment is possible at present. Above all, we need to know whether the Baltic republics will have control of their own production and its distribution. If they become free to trade their own products with the west there could be many opportunities for increased business.
