Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what (a) paid in and (b) callable capital the Government has subscribed under treaty obligations to multi-lateral development banks.
The United Kingdom is a member of several multilateral development banks (MDBs). Depending on the bank, the paid-in and callable capital obligations appear in the published Annual Reports and Accounts of either the Foreign, Common and Development Office or HM Treasury.
Treaty obligations between MDBs and member countries are usually denominated in US Dollars, so these Pound Sterling figures are approximations by necessity.
