HL Deb 10 February 1994 vol 551 c130WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are maintaining their full support for International Monetary Fund conditions on financial help to Russia, in the light of the recent parliamentary elections in that country.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

We fully support the efforts of the Russian government and the IMF to reach agreement on an economic programme which can be backed by IMF resources. It is important that such a programme contains suitable conditionality to ensure that IMF resources are used to good effect.
