Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Navendu Mishra and Elizabeth Truss

Thursday 3rd September 2020 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

[Navendu Mishra (Stockport) (Lab)]

Front Line Defenders published a report in 2019 that detailed the firings, torture and trials in military courts of trade unionists and workers who organised strikes in Egypt. Will the Minister assure us that the Government will not sign a trade deal with the Egyptian Government unless they agree to respect the right to form unions and the right to take industrial action?
