HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 c554W
Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish an itemised list of all the commitments entered into by Her Majesty's Government under the documents of the CSCE, as referred to by article 3 of the bilateral treaty with the Russian Federation laid before the House in April.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

In addition to the Helsinki Final Act, the charter of Paris for a new Europe, and the Helsinki document of 1992 referred to in the treaty dated 9 November 1992 with the Russian Federation, CSCE commitments are also to be found in conclusions of the Madrid (1980–83) and Vienna (1986–89) follow-up meetings as well as subsequent meetings such as the Copenhagen conference on the human dimension (1990), the Moscow conference on the human dimension (1990) and the Stockholm summit of 1992. Copies of these documents are available in the Library of the House. It would involve disproportionate expense to produce an itemised list of all the commitments entered into at these and other CSCE meetings.
