Developing Countries: Poverty
Thursday 21st July 2016

Asked by: Holly Lynch (Labour - Halifax)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether UK trade negotiators will be instructed to consider the risks and opportunities for poverty reduction in the least developed countries during future negotiations of trade deals.
