Proceeding contribution from Earl of Sandwich (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It occurred during Debate and Debate on select committee report on World Trade Organisation.


World Trade Organisation

My Lords, before the Minister sits down perhaps IĀ could follow a line of questioning taken by the noble Baroness, Lady Miller, about joined-up government. Many of the proposals that the Minister has mentioned, for example, about transitional assistance and special and differential treatment, we expect to come out in Hong Kong through the European Union, but what is the process in government? Sometimes we think of these as development proposals that then go to the DTI, the lead ministry in Brussels. Can he explain how these things work?
