HC Deb 09 May 1990 vol 172 cc176-7W
40. Mr. Hind

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to visit Lithuania and Estonia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has no such plans.

91. Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement on the Government's policy towards the Baltic states.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have repeatedly stressed the need for progress through dialogue between the Soviet authorities and the Lithuanians, so that a settlement acceptable to both sides can be reached, enabling the Lithuanian people to decide their own future. This was the theme of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister's message to Mrs. Prunskiene when the latter called on her at 10 Downing street this morning.

56. Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received about the right to self-determination of the Baltic states.

Mr. Waldegrave

I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on 4 April at column701.

71. Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what correspondence his Department has received on the treatment of conscripts in the Baltic states who join the Soviet Red Army.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have received a number of letters from members of the public about conscription from the Baltic states, but none about the treatment of conscripts.
