free trade is a huge export opportunity for agriculture.what we have is a shell, a statement of a few principles. not so bad on their selves, sometimes even admirable, and some have improved since earlier iterations of this legislation. but there are few commitments to action. this is a grade d effort. the agriculture bill will now go on to its detailed committee stage, when peers will attempt to make some changes to it. you're watching wednesday in parliament, with me, alicia mccarthy. earlier this week, a bbc panorama investigation found that the post office prosecuted postmasters over missing money, despite having evidence that its own computer system could be to blame. hundreds of workers were accused after the horizon system showed cash shortfalls at their post office branches. the government has announced an independent review into the problems, which stretched back many years. but in the commons, mps from all sides said only a judge—led public inquiry could get to the bottom of the scandal. the post office horizon scandal may well be

on this issue of agriculture i will repeat what i said number one agricultural policy is set by the congress modified the representatives so the issues that you raised i know are difficult and are being fought out in congress and i will be guided by what congress does. for right now, the reality is what we want and what they insist from our trading partners is equal access. access based on science. the difference between big and small farmers cut corporate farmers, i don't know much about that. i would say the united states has the best agriculture in the world and highest standards and we shouldn't consume if they have the preference they should exercise the preference but i'm going to do is try to insist on science-based restrictions and to the extent they are not science-based window object. >> thinthank the gentleman. before i recognized him i want to recognize mr. thompson for the purpose of unanimous consent request. >> thank you mr. chairman. i'd like to ask unanimous consent to submit for the record the national bureau of economic research in regards to hitting the peak in february a

agriculture products. we've talked time and time again about how much our ag producers are hurting and how we should be doing more to help them. one way we can do more is by making sure that our trade agreements require our allies and trading partners to rely on sound science. do you agree that many food standards are actually disguised protectionism and a followup question is, what is the best way to stop that practice? >> so, senator, i completely agree with you. i made this statement this morning that the european union has raised this practice of using standards really as protectionism to a high art and i believe they have. they now in terms of some residue -- maximum residue levels, they actually have -- if there's any detection at all, the product is unacceptable. to me, that is just plain protectionism. and making every regulation science-based is the equivalent of getting rid of protectionism. it's the equivalent of getting rid of any other nontariff trade barrier. i would say europe is going in th

what is hazardous an agriculture in general. for the 1st work can be hazardous by nature or by the circumstances in which it is being done. i would say that this work in agriculture is due to the exposure to chemicals chemical pesticides and so today used. and dangerous tools it is due to not ours explosions in explosion or in the sun. hydration and so on. ivory coast but also across africa the feeling that governments are doing enough to stop child labor. i would say in africa at the rate up ratification of the ilo conventions on china is very high the problem is of course in the education of these conventions a large number of governments have also where that there's an issue are taking measures to address it has an aberrated national action plans to mean a child labor. but of course it's a very complex problem it can only be addressed if you address issues of lack of access to education and poor social protection coverage. and deeply entrenched social norms so i would say that it's really in the optic ation that those measure
