15:42 Emily Thornberry (Labour)

Free global trade is a good thing, but it does pose challenges under our climate change obligations. The Secretary of State has committed to an impact assessment. Will she also commit to have a chapter in there on the climate impacts and what we are doing to mitigate them to the lowest level possible?

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that there are very strong climate change commitments in our agreement with Japan.
