To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the contributions of British know-how funds relative to other aid given to the former Soviet Union and central and eastern Europe.

Mr. Baldry

The know-how fund is an important contributor to the transition process in the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe. The fund has a deservedly enviable reputation in the region.

45. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what work is being undertaken by the know-how fund in Albania.
