UK parliamentarians held two hearings on the World Bank in November. At the first they interviewed UK World Bank Governor Clare Short about issues arising from the annual meetings. Questions covered: HIPC, the Strategic Compact, the Global Development Gateway and other issues.
In November the Committee interviewed Bank President Wolfensohn. He was asked questions about debt, future lending, PRSPs, HIV/AIDs, education, corruption and alternative approaches to development and global public goods.
