Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Frank Roy and Jeremy Browne

Tuesday 17th January 2012 Commons Chamber

I am delighted that the Colombian President signed a joint declaration on human rights when he was in London a couple of months ago, and we had the opportunity to talk about how we can enhance Colombia’s prosperity and trade opportunities, which are also important for its development.
