§ 19. Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what new proposals she has to extend the work of the know-how fund in the Baltic states. [29629]
§ Clare ShortI am planning a slight decline in the Know How Fund programme spending in the Baltic States. This is in accordance with our policy document "Support for Transition: A New Strategy", a copy of which is in the Library, and takes account of the relatively advanced progress which the Baltics have made. Our priority sectors there are public administration and (increasingly) rural development.
