Council of Europe Development Bank
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 17 December (HL12825), whether they have undertaken a study of the merits of the UK joining the European Development Bank; if so (1) when this was, and (2) whether a report of the study was laid before Parliament; and if not, why not.
- Answer
-
No such study has been commissioned under the current Government, and it would not be appropriate for me to ask officials what advice, if any, was provided under the previous administration.
