HC Deb 22 October 1990 vol 178 cc23-4W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contribution his Department made to the 11th review conference of CAB International on technological assistance and ecological protection in developing countries, held in London at the end of July.

Mrs. Chalker

I gave the opening address at CAB International's 11th review conference. My Department represented the dependent territories at the conference and one of my senior officials was a member of the United Kingdom delegation. Following the conference we are considering with CAB International possible forms of assistance during its transition to a more commercial footing. My Department was also represented at CAB International's workshop on the ecological foundations of sustainable agriculture which was held a few days before the review conference.
