HC Deb 27 June 2001 vol 370 c89W
Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to visit(a) the Middle East, (b) the Balkans, (c) Russia and (d) Cyprus. [312]

Mr. Straw

I had planned to visit Macedonia on 26–27 June. However, in the light of developments overnight in Skopje, I decided it would not be right to go ahead now. But I am keen to make an early visit to Skopje and will do so at the earliest opportunity.

I am currently considering proposals for visits to a number of other countries. The House will be informed when decisions have been made.
