question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce legislation to limit the ability of private creditors to sue low-income countries indebted to them in the English Courts.
tabling member printed	Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick
uin	HL1245
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government is fully focused on ensuring that the private sector provides debt relief for low-income countries where this is required as part of an internationally agreed debt treatment. For example, under the Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the Debt Service Suspension Initiative, private sector participation on at least as favourable terms as bilateral creditors is a fundamental principle. The G20, including the UK, has repeatedly emphasised the importance of this principle.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not currently have any intention to pursue a legislative approach that would force private lenders to participate in debt relief initiatives. Any legislative approach would need to address a number of challenges. For example, legislating may increase the cost of finance for low-income countries or reduce the availability of finance to meet wider development goals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 01/07/2022 13:02:29 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
