Debate

Trade Negotiations

Contribution

My Lords, I declare an interest as chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, but I am speaking in a personal capacity today. I have not heard the Minister explain whether, in following the usual processes, the Government will publish a human rights assessment and the other impact assessments mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Purvis of Tweed, in advance of the debate in this House. On a slightly different point, in the projections and the wonderful figures that her modelling paints for a future some decades out, have the Government taken into account the long-term impact of geostrategic instability in south Asia, which we are witnessing as we speak?
