Question

What steps her Department is taking to help increase the ease of doing business throughout the developing world?

Answer from Nigel Adams (The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Africa)

I could not agree more with my hon. Friend. He makes a good point. The Government are committed to working with our Commonwealth partners to support and deepen intra-Commonwealth trade, to improve the business environments in Commonwealth countries to enable them to be more globally competitive, and to facilitate the economic empowerment of women and young people by providing more business and educational opportunities.
