It’s possible that a bill to stop private lenders like BB Energy from suing countries in debt crisis will again return to parliament before the end of the parliamentary year. If so, it will provide another opportunity to push MPs to support action on the crisis.
Thousands of campaigners like you have signed petitions, written to and even met with your MPs to demand a new debt justice law. Now will you take two minutes to email oil trader BB Energy and call on them to drop the court case against South Sudan?
