EU: Future Trade Agreement

Lord Adonis Excerpts

Wednesday 29th July 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Henig) (Lab)]

I call the next speaker, Lord Lea of Crondall. I am not sure that he is there, so I will move on to call Lord Adonis.

[Lord Adonis (Lab) [V]]

Will the Minister comment on the stories in today’s papers that a trade agreement is close with Japan and tell the House whether the Prime Minister has met the current head of Nissan, our largest Japanese trading partner? If she cannot give me that information now, will she write to tell me whether he has met the head of Nissan?

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook]

My Lords, this shows that I am the government Whip taking this on from the Minister today. I am sorry that I cannot answer that. I have not had a brief on that question, but I will certainly get the noble Lord a written answer on it as soon as possible.
