§ Mrs. GillanTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if it is his policy to encourage UK trade with Chechnya. [89613]
§ Ms QuinThe dangerous security situation in Chechnya limits opportunities for trade. Our strong advice is that visitors, including British business people, should not travel there because of the security risks. If a British company wished to trade with Chechnya without its staff travelling to the region, we would provide our normal services to British exporters.
