Acknowledged
The TAC’s independent advice will be published to inform Parliamentarians as they scrutinise an FTA in advance of ratification, under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act (CRaG). This is in addition to the enhanced arrangements that the Government has put in place, including publishing an independently scrutinised impact assessment of the deal and allowing time for the relevant Select Committees to produce a report on the FTA.
