§ 82. Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has made representations to encourage British commercial banks to write down debts owed by developing countries in line with their increased provisions set aside to cover those debts.
§ Mr. RyderMy right hon. Friend has made no such representations. It is for commercial banks to decide whether to write down debts owed by developing countries, in line with their own commercial judgments.
