NOMINATION OF Mr PAUL WOLFOWITZ AS HEAD OF THE WORLD BANK

That this House is appalled that the US Administration has chosen to nominate Paul Wolfowitz as the next head of the World Bank; believes that, as one of the architects of the invasion of Iraq, he is uniquely unsuitable to negotiate with the world's poorest countries; notes that he has no history whatsoever of demonstrating any understanding of the needs of those countries; further believes that he is the personification of how out of touch the Bush administration remains in ignoring its global responsibilities; and calls on the Government to take what steps it can to block this nomination.
