Question to the Department for International Development:
What assessment she has made of the effect of the application of the rule of law on levels of prosperity in developing countries.
We believe the rule of law underpins open and fair societies and economies, where citizens, businesses and civil society can prosper. We undertook our own assessments in 2013 and 2015; and also use the 2017 World Bank Global Investment Competitiveness report to assess the evidence.
