What recent discussions she has had with UK trade partners on inserting clauses on workers' rights into future trade deals.
What recent discussions she has had with UK trade partners on inserting clauses on workers' rights into future trade deals.

The hon. Lady will know that that was originally a deal negotiated by the EU. We provided continuity to businesses in this country and in Colombia to make sure that on our exit from the European Union, businesses could continue to trade. The truth is that some of the most vulnerable people will be affected by some of the knee-jerk policies suggested by the Labour party. In all our trade deals, we will uphold Britain’s high standards for businesses, workers and consumers, and we will continue to meet our obligations under the International Labour Organisation.
