HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 cc1082-7W
Miss Lestor

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list by country the total stock of existing and estimated debt outstanding to the United Kingdom by developing countries for each year from 1990 to 2000.

Mr. Nelson

[holding answer 6 December 1994]: The figures for ECGD are not readily available. To assemble them manually would incur disproportionate costs. Figures for outstanding debt stock as at 31 October 1994 are given. For the ODA figures, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to her by the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Baldry) on 8 December 1994, Official Report, columns 344–46.
