§ Mr. DoverTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much money has been allocated to the know-how fund for training of Russian bankers and financiers.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe know-how fund has already committed £158,000 to support training for bankers and financiers in Moscow and St Petersburg. Further projects are in preparation.
In addition, up to 1,000 Russians are to be given training in the banking and finance sector in Britain under an initiative which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer recently announced would be worth £8 million.
