HC Deb 05 December 1983 vol 50 c45W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will review his policy concerning the waiving of repayment of overseas aid loans and interest for certain countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

I have no plans to review this policy, known as retrospective terms adjustment. It has brought considerable economic benefit to 19 of the world's poorest countries.
