Summary
Key Points: 
  • The International Trade Committee continues its inquiry examining UK trade policy transparency and scrutiny.
  • In this session, the Committee examines the extent to which devolved administrations and local government should be involved in the development and scrutiny of trade policy and new trade agreements, as the UK begins to establish a post-Brexit trade regime.
  • The Committee will then hear from witnesses including the leader of Staffordshire County Council and the Deputy Leader of Essex County Council about local government involvement in trade policy.
  • The Committee is expected to consider the local and regional impact of trade agreements, including relating to procurement and public services, as well as the benefits of involving local government in trade policy development.
