Kemi Badenoch: The eighth round UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations took place from 20-31 March. The ninth round took place shortly afterwards, from 24-28 April. As with previous rounds, these rounds were conducted in a hybrid fashion – a number of officials travelled to each other’s nations for negotiations and others attended virtually. Detailed talks took place across a range of policy...
Kemi Badenoch: I am pleased to be able to update the House on the Government’s regulatory reform programme, and on amendments that we are tabling to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (‘the Bill’). The ability for an independent UK to forge its own place in the world is one of the main reasons the country voted to leave the European Union. This Government is committed to seizing the...

Kemi Badenoch: We are committed to harnessing the huge potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve people’s lives. That’s why we’re making sure British values, rules and know-how are at the heart of safe AI that will benefit us all. Our AI White Paper set out that:all uses of AI in the UK must comply with the Equality Act;regulators should look to key principles such as fairness,...
Kemi Badenoch: The gender pay gap has fallen by approximately a quarter in the last decade. The Conservative Government introduced gender pay gap reporting, building on the pay protections we already have in the Equality Act 2010. That has motivated employers to look at their pay data and include workplace gender equality.
Kemi Badenoch: Last week, we published a report on the substantial progress we have made in delivering our groundbreaking Inclusive Britain action plan to tackle unfair ethnic disparities. Just one year after we launched the action plan, we fulfilled 32 of the 74 commitments, including issuing voluntary guidance for employers on how to measure and address ethnicity pay gaps, and I will report back to...

Baroness Wheatcroft: My Lords, I share the enthusiasm of the Minister for trying to replace some of the exports lost through Brexit, and I listened to what he said about static targets. However, the Minister for Trade, Kemi Badenoch, said she could not stand the estimate of 0.08% because it was based on “stale” figures from 2014. If that is true, could the Minister explain why his department is using figures...
