Lord Sassoon (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2025

Debate

UK–China Economic and Financial Strategy Dialogue

Contribution

I note my interest as president of the China-Britain Business Council and as having other China interests. Does the Minister agree with me that in total there are some £40 billion of UK exports going to China each year, including to Hong Kong, and those support 400,000 UK jobs? While the EFD marks a very important re-engagement with China, will he confirm that there will be other ministerial engagements at the top level, including Trade Ministers, to support British business growth?
