Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Bambos Charalambous and Greg Hands

Thursday 19th November 2020 Commons Chamber

[Bambos Charalambous (Enfield, Southgate) (Lab)]

Can the Minister tell us how many trade agreements due to take effect on 1 January 2021 contain explicit human rights clauses?

[The Minister for Trade Policy (Greg Hands)]

I can tell the hon. Gentleman that there is no change in the effect of the existing EU trade deals when it comes to human rights and the role there of the UK agreements. I would urge him to look at those agreements and study the reports that have been produced comparing the agreements with the original.
