Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston Excerpts(3 years, 7 months ago)
Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My Lords, as the noble Lord will know, we have committed £400 million to girls’ education this year, and we will continue to bring added focus during the Global Education Summit later this year.
Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Non-Afl)
My Lords, quite rightly, the integrated review stressed the importance of global rule-making. Will the Government use CHOGM to pay particular attention to the sourcing and trading of precious and rare metals and gemstones? This is one area where trading security and fairness are often overlooked.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
The noble Baroness raises an important point. I will certainly write to her on the specific work that we are doing in that respect.
