HC Deb 06 March 1995 vol 256 c4W
Mrs. Golding

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to raise the issue of global sex trade in women and children at(a) the United Nations conference on women in Beijing and (b) the UN social summit in Copenhagen.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The draft declaration and programme of action to be negotiated at the world summit for social development in Copenhagen already address the issue of sexual exploitation. We support this and hope that such language will he strengthened at the fourth world conference on women in Beijing later this year.
