Lord Grimstone of Boscobel (Con)
Of course size matters, my Lords, but it is not an easy criterion to apply to free trade agreements.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)
I understand that since Brexit we have joined the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. With all our knowledge of sustainability and conservation, are we actually contributing to that organisation? Are we urging it to improve constantly?
Lord Grimstone of Boscobel (Con)
My Lords, it is a long time since I did geography at school, but I am not entirely sure that what we are doing in the Atlantic necessarily applies to the Maldives. I do not have full details of the agreement that the noble Baroness refers to, so I will research it and write to her.
