Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential for the UK to participate in the initiative towards an Agreement on Climate Change, Trade and Sustainability.
HM Government is actively considering whether the United Kingdom should join the Agreement on Climate Change, Trade and Sustainability (ACCTS) negotiations. To inform our decision, we are assessing the three policy areas that comprise ACCTS – environmental goods and services liberalisation, ecolabelling and fossil fuel subsidies.
