Proceeding contribution from Ian Lavery (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on UK-Andean Trade Agreement: Human Rights.


UK-Andean Trade Agreement: Human Rights

It is good that an issue as important as international human rights has been brought to this Chamber. Does my hon. Friend agree that we have to start dealing with such issues in Colombia? Only on Monday, José González Marín, an agricultural workers trade union representative, was shot six times and killed, the rationale being that he wanted the UK-Colombia free trade agreement suspended. This cannot continue.
