Economic Responsibility and a Plan for Growth

"I am grateful to the Minister.

Of course global factors meant that the situation was dangerous, but will the Minister acknowledge that it is precisely because of those global factors that the new Prime Minister and Chancellor had to tread very, very carefully? That is why what they did was …..."

Economic Responsibility and a Plan for Growth

"I could not agree more. The right hon. Member for Spelthorne (Kwasi Kwarteng) is the first politician in history to have had to resign for doing what he said he was going to do, which was precisely what the Prime Minister said she was going to do. The mini-Budget was …..."

Economic Responsibility and a Plan for Growth

"It absolutely is. I suspect that, ultimately, they will. I am a great student of history and I can remember all the way back to January this year, when the Labour party called for a windfall tax. I remember the then Prime Minister standing at the Dispatch Box mocking us …..."

Economic Update

"First, when the Chancellor rises to respond to this question, will he withdraw the claim that Labour opposed furlough? We did not—we supported it. Secondly, the previous Chancellor took the view that if we reduced corporation tax more money came back in revenue. Indeed, in his own short-lived leadership contest …..."

The Growth Plan

"In the time that the Chancellor has been on his feet, the pound has reached its lowest rate against the dollar. The FTSE 100 index is down by 1.7% simply today. When my hon. Friend the Member for York Central (Rachael Maskell) raised this issue with him, he said, “Oh, …..."

Written Question
Debts Written Off: Zambia
Monday 6th June 2022

Asked by: Toby Perkins (Labour - Chesterfield)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to assist Zambia in its attempts to be the first nation to benefit from the Common Framework debt cancellation programme.

Answered by John Glen

Zambia is one of three countries – along with Chad and Ethiopia - to have so far requested the Common Framework.

The Common Framework was agreed in November 2020 by the UK, along with the G20 and Paris Club, to help deliver a long-term, sustainable approach for supporting low-income countries to tackle their debt vulnerabilities.

In its February 2022 communique, the G20 reiterated its commitment to step up efforts to implement the Common Framework in a timely, orderly and coordinated manner. Progress in implementing the Common Framework has been a regular feature in the Chancellor’s discussions in the G7 and G20 and - as a creditor to Zambia - it is a priority to work with our international partners to ensure swift progress on the debt treatment.

"On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker, the Government announced that they were doing a review of level 3 qualifications, with a view potentially to producing a list of level 3 qualifications that would no longer be funded. That list has not yet been produced, but the sector has …..."
