HC Deb 06 February 1995 vol 254 c23W
43. Mr. Denham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the work of the World bank inspection panel.

Mr. Baldry

The World bank's independent inspection panel became operational last August. To date, it has received one request for an inspection. We hope the panel will prove a useful addition to the existing systems of control provided by the board of directors and by bank management.
