answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2021 answer text <p>In November 2020, the UK and other G20 Finance Ministers and the Paris Club agreed a new Common Framework for Future Debt Treatments. This applies to 73 of the poorest countries in the world and, for the first time, brings together Paris Club and major non-Paris Club creditors to provide joined up debt treatments where required.</p><p>The Common framework is an internationally agreed initiative and does not impact the rights of private creditors under UK law. However, under the Framework, debtors will be required to secure a debt treatment from their private creditors on at least as favourable terms as from their official sector creditors.</p><p>As G7 president, the UK will push to ensure the full implementation of the Common Framework. I strongly expect all private creditors to provide the debt relief needed to ensure debt sustainability for those countries who request a debt treatment, and we will engage regularly with the private sector to ensure their appropriate participation in restructurings.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen grouped question UIN 157137 question first answered 01/03/2021 10:41:50 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
