China: United Kingdom Trade

Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe Excerpts

Wednesday 23rd July 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Popat]

The noble Baroness has made an important point. We are addressing the issue of intellectual property and we now have legislation in place. We are asking our Chinese counterparts to comply with our regulations on intellectual property.

[Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Lord Popat]

My Lords, I am afraid that I did not hear the question.

[Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe]

Can the noble Lord tell the House how many additional flights from Heathrow to China have been introduced since this Government came to power?

[Lord Popat]

My Lords, some 39 flights depart from Heathrow to China every week.
