§ Mr. DenhamTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy to ensure that the voting records of the United Kingdom directors of the International Monetary Fund and the World bank are made publicly available.
§ Sir John CopeThe proceedings of the IMF and the World bank are confidential so as not to inhibit full and frank discussion. Within this constraint, the United Kingdom welcomes the greater openness recently shown by these institutions.
