Mr. Flynn
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if, following the experience gained in the United Kingdom with the Red List of chemicals developed for pollution control, he has any plans to offer assistance to the Soviet Union in cleaning up Lake Baikal.
Mr. Trippier
The Government share the international concern about the state of Lake Baikal and are well aware of USSR thinking on plans for tackling the problem. A representative from Her Majesty's Government will be attending a meeting in Irkutzk organised by the USSR authorities starting on 5 April. We will be studying the report of that meeting very carefully.
