Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Goldsworthy, Julia MP

“There’s no shortage of businesses who want to invest in Russia and expand their business there. But I think the Khodorkovsky trial is going to be a key test for Russia and all eyes and business will be looking to see how this show trial pans out. Effectively, unless Russia can demonstrate that they are committed to democratic reform and establishing the rule of law, then I think it is going to make a lot of businesses very nervous about looking to invest and expand there”

Julia Goldsworthy MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, December 14, 2009
