What has Hugo Swire been up to recently?

Stirring words in Parliament on the lack of democracy in Hong Kong about which he said:

During my visit to Hong Kong in January, I met with the President of the Legislative Council as well as a number of legislators from a range of parties, and with a range of views on the constitutional reform debate.

and corrupt companies in the Republic if Congo about which he says:

We expect all companies to act appropriately and to the highest of standards, and encourage anyone with evidence of serious fraud, bribery or corruption to contact the Serious Fraud Office.
