Proceeding contribution from Ann McKechin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on WTO Conference (Hong Kong).


WTO Conference (Hong Kong)

As my right hon. Friend will be aware, the hon. Member for Buckingham (John Bercow) and I attended the parliamentary conference in Hong Kong last week. I am sure that he shares my concern that many of the delegates to the parliamentary conference perceived last week as being a tug of war between the EU and the USA. May I urge him to follow up his suggestion that we need leadership at the very top from the world’s political leaders in 2006 if we are to achieve a credible development agenda at the WTO talks?
