Trade Bill

Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Trade Bill.

The thing that has always concerned me about the hon. Gentleman’s amendment is that it is for Select Committees to make decisions about whether there has been genocide, but the Chairs of the Select Committee who would be the primary candidates have all said that they do not think that they are up to it, that they do not feel that they have sufficient experience, and that it would be the sort of thing that someone with judicial experience would be better able to do.
