§ Mr. WaldegraveA seminar for Polish Members of Parliament on British parliamentary and political organisation, financed by the know-how fund and organised by the Great Britain/East Europe Centre, took place in the United Kingdom last October. Approximately 17 British hon. Members were involved in either discussions in the House or constituency visits.
A further seminar for Polish parliamentary officials, requested by the Polish Senate, will take place in the United Kingdom later this month. It will also be organised by the Great Britain/East Europe Centre with the close involvement of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the overseas office of the House of Commons.
