Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Minutes of Evidence


Letter to the Chairman of the Committee from the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

  I am delighted to send you a copy of the Written Ministerial Statement I am making today to bring to a close the River Path Review process and to reaffirm the confidence the Government has in the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the foundation in promoting democracy worldwide.

  May I say once again how grateful I was for your leadership and commitment as Chairman of the Board of Governors during such as challenging period in the Foundation's history. You can be proud to have handed over Hugh Bayley a much strengthened and reinvigorated organisation, one that is able to deliver a uniquely valuable contribution to democracy-building around the world.

Jack Straw MP
