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
