To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made towards free and democratic elections in Bulgaria.

§ Mr. Waldegrave
Elections will be held on 10 and 17 June under a democratic electoral system agreed in round table talks between the Government and the Opposition groups. We are concerned at recent reports of possible malpractice and urge all concerned to see that the electoral campaign and the actual poll are conducted with scrupulous fairness. We shall be sending a team of local government officials to observe the elections.
