Caroline Lucas Geraint Davies That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Trade Bill because whilst provisions to establish trade agreements following the UK’s exit from the EU are necessary, the Bill fails to uphold democratic scrutiny, contains no provisions for transparency during trade negotiations or Parliamentary oversight of agreements, gives the Executive further unchecked powers to legislate on trade, fails to improve inadequate scrutiny processes enshrined in the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act, leaves UK parliamentarians with less influence over trade policy than their counterparts in other states, does not provide Members of this House with votes on negotiating mandates or trade agreements, overlooks the significant impact of trade agreements on public policy, does not require comprehensive sustainability impact assessments of trade deals, endangers the UK’s social, labour, environmental and agricultural standards and fails to ensure that imported products adhere to at least equivalent standards, does not preclude the inclusion of Investor-State Dispute Settlements in trade agreements, does not focus trade agreements on the Paris Climate Agreement’s ambition to limit global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees or ensure that they are designed to meet the UK’s climate and biodiversity objectives, does not require trade agreements to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, and does not recognise that the climate and biodiversity emergencies and the Covid-19 pandemic require a fundamental rewrite of the rules of global economy and the objectives of trade policy. 8 Wednesday 20 May 2020 OP No.58: Part 1 BUSINESS TOday: CHAMBER Keir Starmer Emily Thornberry Lisa Nandy Rachel Reeves Bill Esterson Mr Nicholas Brown Geraint Davies That this House recognises that upon leaving the European Union, the UK will need effective legislation to implement agreements with partner countries corresponding to international trade agreements of the European Union in place before the UK’s exit, to implement procurement obligations arising from the UK becoming a member of the Government Procurement Agreement in its own right, to set out the basis of a Trade Remedies Authority to deliver the new UK trade remedies framework, and to establish the powers for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to collect and disclose data on goods and services exporters; but declines to give a Second Reading to the Trade Bill because it fails to set out proper procedures for Parliamentary consultation, scrutiny, debate and approval of future international trade agreements, fails to protect the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty in respect of the implementation of international trade agreements previously negotiated by the European Union and in respect of changes to existing government procurement regulations arising from the UK’s or other countries’ accession to the Government Procurement Agreement, fails to establish sufficient scrutiny procedures to replace those that have pertained while the UK has been a member of the European Union, fails to guarantee that the UK’s current high standards and rights will be protected in future trade agreements, and fails to render the Trade Remedies Authority answerable to Parliament or representative of the full range of stakeholders who should be included in its membership.
