HC Deb 15 May 1996 vol 277 c492W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what discussions he has had concerning restrictions on the importation of goods produced by child labour; and if he will make a statement. [28382]

Mr. Nelson

The Government deplore any exploitation of children and press all countries which have signed labour conventions to meet their obligations. We believe improvements in labour standards are more likely to result from economic growth through trade than by unilateral trade restrictions.
