I start by thanking the hon. Member for Rochdale (Tony Lloyd) for securing this important and well-attended debate, which has caused me to take some time to look at the tragic details of cases involving human rights abuses in Andean countries. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office considers these countries a priority due to ongoing human rights concerns and employs various tools, including official development assistance programmes and trade dialogues, to address issues such as violence against trade unionists, protestors, and environmental campaigners. We have spent £68 million through the conflict, stability and security fund to support peace agreement implementation in Colombia and have put in place a multi-million pound project to help transform the approach taken by the Colombian national police on human rights. The UK's trade agreements with these countries include binding provisions on labour and environmental standards, monitored through annual Trade and Sustainable Development committees. Additionally, we are establishing a public expression of interest for a domestic advisory group (DAG) that will monitor FTA implementation. The minister outlines how the government is engaging regularly with Andean country partners at various levels to raise human rights issues and ensure compliance.
