HC Deb 06 July 1993 vol 228 c87W
Mr. Radice

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the level of operations by the British Council in the Nordic countries.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The council's long-standing oper-ations in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark have helped to creat the current extensive network of bilateral contacts.

Recently, in order to release resources—human and financial—the council has reduced its staffing and overheads in the area while maintaining programmes as far as possible.
