Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Bill

I am going to be quite honest about this. Opposition Members have to make up their minds about which side they are on. On Second Reading, another Member said:""My heart goes out to the people of heavily indebted poor countries."—[Official Report, 26 February 2010; Vol. 506, c. 580.]" He then proceeded to block the entire Bill from going through, to the outrage of many members of the public. There is no point in saying that one is really upset about the position of third-world and developing countries and then raising all kinds of objections.
