Mr. Cox

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what his latest estimate is of the level of debt owed by countries in the Third World. [139466]

There is no agreed definition of the "Third World". Full figures for debt held by countries can be found in "Global Development Finance, 2000" published by the World bank.
