Trade Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Liddle (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 January 2019. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Trade Bill.

Surely the best alternative way of benefiting from the growth outside the mature economies of western Europe—remember, this is catch-up growth; it is not a criticism of the European Union—is to be participants in the EU and its extensive trade deals with the emerging economies of the world. Why would we have a stronger negotiating position as 60 or 70 million than as an economy of 350 million or 400 million?
