This means that CETA can only take full effect once the UK has decided to ratify it. As part of that ratification process, the complete draft text of the agreement would be laid before Parliament for 21 sitting days. In addition, the Government will ensure the proposals for a Council decision on signature, and subsequent conclusion, will be subject to scrutiny in both Houses of the UK Parliament.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 07/07/2016 15:38:23 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
