EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement

Debate between Craig Mackinlay and Barry Gardiner

Tuesday 26th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Barry Gardiner]

The Government have not published any serious analysis as to the potential outcomes of the EU-Japan EPA on the car industry beyond the basic econometric analysis in their impact assessment. It cannot be right to allow the Government to proceed with fast-tracking approval of this trade deal when we have not had answers to the critical questions posed by the hon. Member for Stone and his Committee, based on a proper analysis of what the likely impacts might be.

[Craig Mackinlay (South Thanet) (Con)]

Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
