Recommendation 58

With both the Chancellor and the Prime Minister now referring consistently to the economic “damage” resulting from the nature of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), we ask the Government to set out its views on which elements of the existing TCA are the source of such “damage”; confirm, as Ministerial statements suggest, that it is of the view that the current set of negotiating priorities with the EU are not sufficient to address them; and, if this is so, set out what further proposals it intends to make to improve trade relations with the EU and commit to time given in Parliament for scrutiny of these issues. (Recommendation, Paragraph 162) 97
