Proceeding contribution from Lord Hussain (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. It occurred during Private notice question on Steel Import Restrictions.


Steel Import Restrictions

My Lords, as I understand it, our free trade agreement with India includes a special clause on the welfare of animals, which is quite good. Is a human rights clause also included? If not, do the British Government really think that human rights in India are less important than those of animals?
