HC Deb 19 October 1992 vol 212 c138W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps have been undertaken to date by his Department to assist economic development and training in(a) Estonia, (b) Lithuania, (c) Slovenia, (d) Ukraine, (e) the Russian Federation and (f) Slovakia.

Mr. David Hunt

A delegation from the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic visited Wales in 1990. Although my Department has not taken any special initiatives, I am aware that considerable efforts have been made by others, including the Welsh Development Agency, in assisting economic development and training in some of the former eastern bloc countries.
