Written Question
Trade Agreements: Philippines
Tuesday 16th March 2021

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Southwark (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to include human rights provisions in any future trade agreement between the UK and the Philippines.

Answered by Lord Grimstone of Boscobel

HM Government is clear that more trade does not have to come at the expense of our values. Despite our varying approach to agreements with partners, we will always have open discussions on a range of issues, including rights and responsibilities.
