Trade Remedy Measures: UK Interests

Tom Brake Excerpts

Monday 25th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Dr Fox]

Like all the other elements that I mentioned, they in one way or another provide jobs for people in the United Kingdom, and the Government will ensure that industries whether large or small are given the appropriate protection from unfair trading from overseas.

[Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)]

When does the Secretary of State expect the Trade Remedies Authority to be established, and what additional costs will be incurred before it is?

[Dr Fox]

It is impossible to give a date. The right hon. Gentleman’s colleagues in the other place, who have been so holding up the Trade Bill, have more effect on the date than I do. He might want to have a word with them.
