PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Development Banks (2 November 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, which funding proposals developed by multilateral development banks her Department voted against in each of the last five years; and if she will make a statement.

Asked by:
Gareth Thomas (Labour)

Multilateral development banks consider many hundreds of funding proposals each year. The UK decides on its voting position taking account of development impact and value for money. We are ready to vote against projects where they do not meet the required standards.
