Ministerial CorrectionsThe right hon. and learned Gentleman went on to raise the announcement about the partnership for global infrastructure and investment. What he failed to mention in his criticism was that that initiative—the PGII—was created by the UK under our G7 presidency.

The PGII initiative will contain a range of different projects. This particular one was also not signed by Canada, Japan or Italy, for example.
