Proceeding contribution from Lord Purvis of Tweed (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 January 2019. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Trade Bill.
Trade Bill
The Minister mentioned Canada and it was interesting to hear that. May I seek clarification? I raised this issue on Monday in Committee
with regard to Singapore. As a consequence of the court of justice judgment in May 2017, the Singapore agreement was made into two: a stand-alone free-trade agreement and a separate investment protection agreement. These draft trade and investment agreements were signed on 19 October last year. What is our position in the UK on seeking to roll them over? I think the Government have stated clearly that they will roll over the free trade agreement. Do they intend to roll over the investment protection agreement also, which is quite distinct?
