G20: Debt Cancellation

Lord Livermore Excerpts

Wednesday 10th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord Livermore (Lab) [V]]

My Lords, the G20 public debt initiative lasts only until the end of 2020, yet it is clear that the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic will be felt far beyond the end of this year. Will the Government support an extension of the scheme?

[Baroness Penn]

Yes, we will.
