Motion text

That this House welcomes the leadership taken by this Government and its predecessors in reducing the debts of the poorest countries of the world; shares the view expressed by the Prime Minister in the House on 20th May that despite the progress made at the Birmingham G8 summit, debt reduction has not been pushed forward as much as it should be; and supports the principle of the Remission of Third World Debt (Jubilee 2000) Bill introduced by the honourable Member for Stone on 21st July.
