Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what has been the financial contribution to date of the Know-how Fund in developing a bakery training school at St. Petersburg, Russia; and how much further funding is currently planned. [49948]

Clare Short

My Department has contributed £415,427 to date towards the development of the Leningrad Minibakeries Training Centre through a Know-how Fund project. The first phase of this project ended in May. The final cost to Department for International Development of the first phase will be approximately £480,000. A second phase of support began in June. We plan to provide approximately £100,000 of funding under this second phase, which will finish in June 1999. We have no plans for further funding beyond that date.
