Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2025

Debate

Gulf States: Trade and Human Rights

Contribution

I think I heard her say that, while the breadth of human rights is considerable, there is a place in a free trade agreement for specific, relevant, binding obligations; for example, on labour standards, which might cover third-country workers.
