Mass lobby will help keep trade justice at the top of the Government's agenda - Lamb

6.00.00pm UTC (GMT +0000) Tue 1st Nov 2005

Commenting ahead of tomorrow's Make Poverty History mass lobby for trade justice, Norman Lamb MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow DTI Secretary, said "This mass lobby is an excellent way of keeping trade justice high up on the Government's agenda. The G8 countries must not let the consensus that has been developed through Make Poverty History and Live8 slip away."

Andrew George MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow International Development Secretary, said "Although effective aid programmes and debt relief help to make poverty history, they can create dependency too. Fair trade rules which open markets but protect less developed countries from exploitation will provide the strong foundation needed for sustainable economic development."
