(asked on 10th June 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many deals the UK is a signatory to that contain Investor-State Dispute Settlement provisions.
This question was answered on 23rd June 2021
The United Kingdom has investment agreements containing Investor-State Dispute Settlement provisions with over 90 trading partners. This includes the vast majority of the UK’s bilateral investment treaties and the Energy Charter Treaty.
There has never been a successful claim brought against the United Kingdom nor has the threat of potential claims affected the Government’s legislative programme.
