Oral Answers to Questions

Louise Haigh Excerpts

Thursday 15th December 2016 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Trade and Investment (Greg Hands)]

I know that my hon. Friend takes a huge interest in Korea and his Korean community in Kingston. He knows that I visited Seoul, as did Lord Price, in September and saw for myself what natural allies we will be in the global future of free trade. I had excellent meetings with Samsung and with other interlocutors. We look forward to working very closely with South Korea in the future in developing free trading relationships, and I will make sure that my hon. Friend is very involved.

[Louise Haigh (Sheffield, Heeley) (Lab)]

T3. Recently, the hon. Member for North East Somerset (Mr Rees-Mogg) said in relation to emissions standards that what is good enough for India is good enough for us. May we have a firm assurance that no emissions standards will be watered down as part of any free trade deal?

[Dr Fox]

The Government take very seriously their environmental obligations and will continue to do so.
