HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c577W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development when she plans to support further debt relief to Malawi. [93023]

Clare Short

Malawi remains off track with its economic and financial reform programme. An IMF mission which left Lilongwe on 21 January was still unable to give a positive endorsement to the Government's overall performance.

My Department with the EC and Norway will conduct a separate assessment next month. Meanwhile, in collaboration with other development partners, DFID is continuing a dialogue with the Government of Malawi on measures necessary for resumption of budget support and debt relief.
