HL Deb 21 March 1997 vol 579 c126WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the World Bank and associated organisations which the United Kingdom is a member are acting in accordance with the Helms Burton and D'Amato Acts which make claims for extraterritorial jurisdiction for the United States of America.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

No; and if there were any suggestions that these organisations should change their policies as a result of the Helms-Burton or D'Amato Acts, the UK would strongly oppose this.
