PM narrowly wins bid to scrap anti-genocide measure from trade bill despite rebellion

Video has shown purportedly showing Uighur prisoners bound and blindfolded at a train station in China"have been denied justice for many many years" and face being pushed into slave labour and forced sterilisation.

The amendment would have let the High Court decide a country that signed up to a trade deal with Britain had committed genocide under the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide - revoking the agreement. Mr Hands said he will"have to have a look at the amendment" before Sir Iain replied that he had handed it to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and his team last Wednesday and added:"With respect, it's not a case of will he have a look at it, he must have a view about it surely because it's there."

And well he might. When his deputy, the affable Stuart Andrew showed him a piece of paper with the result, it revealed that the government - with a hefty Commons majority of 80, don't forget - had scraped home by just 11 votes.
