Proceeding contribution from Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 July 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G20.


G20

We want to champion this agenda. We called for change and will be working with colleagues in advance of a meeting later in the year to develop proposals. Good progress has been made. The trade facilitation agreement that came into force earlier this year will benefit UK exporters through its customs reforms, and could boost global trade by up to $1 trillion every year. We are clear that the WTO must remain the foundation of the global trading system, but we need to work together to improve it.
