Part 1: Implementation of international trade agreements Section 3: Free trade agreements and genocide
Section 3 ensures that a debate and vote in the Commons would happen following a tiered process starting with the responsible Commons Committee publishing a report which states that there exist credible reports of genocide in the territory of a country with which we are proposing a new bilateral free trade agreement. The Secretary of State would respond to the Committee in writing and at that point the Committee could insist on a Parliamentary debate and would set out the wording of a motion to be moved in the Commons. The Secretary of State would be obliged to make arrangements to debate and vote on the motion. A take note debate would also take place in the Lords following a similar tiered process if the responsible Lords Committee published an equivalent report.
