§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress of relations between the United Kingdom and Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia respectively.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe are making good progress in developing our close and friendly relations with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Since the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with the three states in September, we have set up an embassy in each capital and each of the three states has established an embassy in London. Several projects in the three states have received help from the know-how fund, and other projects are being considered for assistance.
