Council of Europe Development Bank

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to join the Council of Europe Development Bank.

Answer

The position remains as set out to the Noble Lord on 29 April 2019 in response to Question HL15270: the UK already has effective instruments to deliver development and investment objectives, including through our multilateral shareholdings such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and therefore has no plans to join the Council of Europe Development Bank.
