HC Deb 24 March 1994 vol 240 cc376-7W
Sir Thomas Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many management training projects are currently being supported by the know-how fund in the Ukraine.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Management training is an important element in many know-how fund projects in Ukraine. A list of all current know-how fund projects there is being placed in the Libraries of the House.

Sir Thomas Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much the current budget is for the know-how fund in the Ukraine; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In 1993–94 the know-how fund is likely to spend about £3.5 million in Ukraine. We expect to continue to provide assistance, mainly but not exclusively, in the agricultural, financial services, small business, and energy sectors.
