Debts: Developing Countries
Asked by: Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat - Honiton and Sidmouth) Wednesday 28th January 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she is taking steps to ensure that private lenders who arranged to provide money to countries under UK legislation are (a) prevented from suing those countries when they are in debt distress and (b) encouraged to participate in debt relief negotiations for lower-income countries. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The UK, alongside the G20 and Paris Club, expects private creditors to participate in international debt restructurings on comparable terms. At this stage, the government is not pursuing a legislative approach that would force private sector participation in restructurings. Overall, we have seen private creditors’ willingness to engage and provide debt treatments where needed, including for Zambia and Ghana – though we keep this under review

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Following the conclusion of the inquiry, the Port of London Authority (PLA) has told the Department how it intends to resolve residents’ concerns. Although the Department has no relevant powers that can be used to assist in this situation, it is currently satisfied with the PLA’s proposed course of action but will keep the matter under review.
