HL Deb 17 March 1999 vol 598 c98WA
Baroness Park of Monmouth

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Who are to be the members of their new think-tank on foreign policy, to be led by Mr. Mark Leonard; how they have been chosen; when they are to report; and what will be the cost. [HL1484]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The Foreign Policy Centre is an independent organisation which does not receive any money from public funds. Its members, methods of recruitment, budget and timescale for reporting are a matter for the Foreign Policy Centre itself to decide.
