The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kerry McCarthy on 2014-06-12.

To ask the Prime Minister, what discussions he has had on the Government’s Action Plan on Business and Human Rights in advance of the visit by his Chinese counterpart to the UK.

Mr David Cameron

I plan to hold wide-ranging discussions with Premier Li. We have a foreign policy that is based on our values, and we consistently raise them with the Chinese government, including during high level dialogues.

I am very supportive of the business and human rights agenda, and action against climate change is a priority for the government.
