Recommendation 1
1
Paragraph: 11
Facilitate House of Commons debate on UK accession to Trans-Pacific Partnership ratification during scrutiny period.
Recommendation
The terms of UK accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership raise contentious issues. We recommend that during the 21-day scrutiny period under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010, the Government facilitate a debate on the Floor of the House on a substantive motion on the ratification of UK accession to the Agreement. The Secretary of State for Business and Trade should write to the Leader of the House, setting out the case for holding such a debate in Government time.
