HL Deb 15 December 1994 vol 559 cc131-2WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What success they are having in reducing, and persuading other governments to reduce, the debt burden on Malawi, in the interests of the successful regeneration of democracy in that country.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

All aid debts owed by Malawi to the UK were forgiven in 1979. Malawi has not approached the Paris Club for rescheduling of non-aid debt to the UK, or of debts owed to other creditors, since its last rescheduling in 1988.
