Trade Agreements
(asked on 12th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps he is taking to ensure that UK trade and investment agreements protect human rights.
This question was answered on 15th December 2016
The UK has a strong history in protecting human rights. While we remain members of the EU, we will continue to support a trade liberalising agenda and the UK will participate constructively in EU decision making on trade issues, including on human rights requirements.
The UK has long supported the promotion of our values globally and this will continue as we leave the EU.
