uin	7665
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>In 2011, HM Treasury consulted on the impact of the Debt Relief Act 2010 with representatives from key stakeholders, such as the financial services sector, Heavily Indebted Poor Countries and civil society. This evidence suggested the Act had benefitted Heavily Indebted Poor Countries and there was no evidence of unintended consequences. The previous government therefore made the Act permanent.</p><p>By continuing to prohibit costly and unfair legal action against Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, the legislation continues to play a valuable role. According to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, litigation by creditors against Heavily Indebted Poor Countries remains an ongoing issue in other jurisdictions without such protections.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/09/2017 14:59:15 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
