Trade Agreements: Colombia
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North) Tuesday 9th December 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions his Department has had with their Colombian counterparts on the Colombia-UK Bilateral Investment Treaty in the last four years. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) My Department regularly engages with Colombia to discuss trade and investment matters, primarily through the UK-Andean countries trade agreement committees which have been meeting annually since 2022 and the UK-Colombia Trade Dialogue. My Department has not received a formal approach by its Colombian counterparts to discuss the UK-Colombia Bilateral Investment Treaty. |

Trade Agreements: Russia
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North) Tuesday 9th December 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what review processes does the Government have in place to assess the adequacy of its trade and investment treaty commitments for the UK-Russia Bilateral Investment Treaty. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) The UK’s International Investment Agreements (IIAs) aim to enhance opportunities for UK businesses to expand overseas, with commitments that seek to limit the barriers they face, make it easier to navigate local rules, and ensure investments are treated lawfully, and protected against unfair or arbitrary action. There is no specific review process within this Agreement. |

Trusts: Disability
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North) Tuesday 16th December 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to ensure (i) people can access Disabled Person’s Trust accounts from high street banks and (ii) public bodies are using powers to ensure access for families of disabled people to those accounts. Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone can access appropriate financial services and products, which is vital for financial resilience and wellbeing and ensuring that individuals are able to fully participate in the economy. The provision of services such as trust accounts is a commercial decision for individual banks and building societies, and the Government does not intervene in these decisions. Under the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Consumer Duty, firms must consider the impact of withdrawing a product and take steps to mitigate harm. However, the FCA cannot compel firms to offer specific products.
The FCA is currently engaging with industry and stakeholders to explore issues around the provision of trust accounts for disabled people, and the Government supports this work.

LGBT Veterans Independent Review
Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North) Monday 15th December 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made on implementing the recommendations of the LGBT Veterans Independent Review. Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) I am disgusted by the mistreatment of our brave LGBT veterans who served between 1967 and 2000. I am pleased that the Government has delivered 48 of the 49 recommendations made by the Lord Etherton’s Independent Review. One of those was the unveiling of the LGBT+ Armed Forces Community Memorial. I was honoured to attend the dedication in October, alongside His Majesty the King and LGBT Veterans and Service personnel. The one outstanding recommendation recognises the unique experiences of female veterans. Work is ongoing on a number of initiatives towards this, including launch of a new Women Veterans Forum.
