§ 20. Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent representations she has received from supporters of the Jubilee 2000 campaign on the relief of international debt. [82970]
§ Clare ShortWe are in regular contact with Jubilee 2000. 1 admire the role the churches and NGOs are playing in raising awareness among the public of the effects of high levels of indebtedness on some of the world's poorest people and building support for more debt relief in the run-up to Cologne Summit in June. I receive many letters from members of the public, directly and through their Members of Parliament, indicating their support for cancelling the unpayable debt of the poorest countries.
