Liberal Democrat — Richmond Park

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 December 2025

Debate

Fairtrade Certification

Contribution

I am interested in the Minister’s formulation of free and fair trade. Would he not agree that fair trade is free trade, and that free trade is fair trade? It is about bringing down barriers, which may have been put in place by the larger producers or people with a market advantage. The point is to create a fairer playing field, because that is what free trade is.
