Lord Bates
I do not accept that description of the World Bank’s work. It does an incredible amount for the world’s poor through investing in infrastructure and food—for example, for the Rohingya population. It is absolutely committed to eradicating extreme poverty around the world, which is why we support it.
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Con)
My Lords, once the nomination process has closed, will my noble friend let the House know when he expects the shortlist of candidates to be published?
Lord Bates
The nomination process will close on 14 March. The candidates will then be assessed by the executive board of directors and a decision will be made ahead of the spring meetings in Washington between 12 and 14 April.
