Conclusion
We welcome the commitments from the Government to seek improved outcomes on the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) arrangements. The existing Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) framework is clearly unfit for this purpose, having delivered no real benefits since the agreement took effect in 2021. The Summit outcomes however lacked sufficient ambition and precision. (Conclusion, Paragraph 51)
