Early Day Motions

As this motion is using historical data, we may not have the record of the original ordering, in which case signatories are listed alphabetically.

Motion text

That this House notes that many other countries and multinational institutions have not followed Britain's lead on debt relief for the Third World; believes that more needs to be done for the 2015 international development targets to be met; and therefore calls on the Government, at the April meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, to call for the acceleration of debt cancellation under the HIPC process to the level required to help achieve international development targets.
