Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have approved the proposed visit by the Princess of Wales to Russia in the run-up to the announced elections in that country and whether the timing of that visit is related to those elections.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

HRH the Princess of Wales has been invited to pay a working visit to Russia in connection with a children's hospital trust of which she is a patron. The dates are still under discussion. Her Majesty's Government are content for the visit to take place. It is not related to the forthcoming elections in Russia.
