As outlined in the Government’s White Paper – ‘Preparing for our Future UK Trade Policy’, parliament will play a vital role in the scrutiny of future trade agreements, as it always has. The UK remains committed to a transparent, fair, and inclusive approach to international trade and has invited views on the UK’s approach to its future trade policy, including future trade agreements.

The Department for International Trade continues to engage with a wide range of stakeholders, to gather views that will help to inform decisions on the future approach to the scrutiny of future trade agreements.
