Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs on measures the Government is taking to improve the quality of human rights assessments used to inform UK Export Finance's decisions.

UK Export Finance (UKEF) strictly follows internationally recognised frameworks for managing environmental, social & human rights (ESHR) risks and impacts of relevant projects. Where UKEF provides support to such projects it undertakes on-going ESHR monitoring over the period of that support.
