My Lords, I beg leave to ask the question standing in my name on the order paper. 
01:56 - 02:34
Oratore 4
My Lords, the WTO has failed to keep pace with trading realities and must reform.  The UK has communicated our vision for a WTO that is more relevant, flexible, and accessible.  We are actively shaping the reform debate.  Our proposals include ideal ideas to stimulate discussion on how to level the playing field in trade, such as improved transparency and disciplines on harmful trading practices and to advance more flexible arrangements among subsets of members making the WTO more responsive.

Oratore 2
My Lords, may I thank the minister for that very full and interesting reply.  The WTO has been partially paralyzed by disputes between China and the United States and the United States withdrawing from part of its workings.  Can the minister tell the House whether the interim work around measures which were led by Canada, Australia, and we participated in have helped to offset the effect of America's withdrawal from the institution?  And despite what the minister said about transparency, will he confirm that if we really want to have growth in this country, in a world in which trend there is politicization of supply chains and there are tariff wars, it is extremely important that we do everything in our power to support a rules-based trading system?
