HC Deb 11 May 1992 vol 207 c32W
40. Mr. Skinner

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to meet third-world leaders to discuss rescheduling of debt.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

My right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development regularly meets leaders of third world countries. The rescheduling of debt is often discussed. The Prime Minister's 1990 Trinidad terms initiative has so far benefited five countries, and Britain has relieved developing countries of the burden of aid debt worth more than £1,000 million.
