answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that protecting the NHS is of the utmost importance for the UK. We believe, as does the European Commission, that provisions in the current texts of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) achieve this protection.</p><p>Over several decades the UK and EU have signed numerous trade agreements. These treaties have helped both UK and EU businesses grow and create high quality jobs. They have also ensured that it remains for the UK to decide how our public services are run.</p><p>TTIP will be no different. Decisions on how to deliver public services for the best outcomes for UK citizens are and will be made by UK governments, not our trade partners. The Prime Minister, the European Commission and the US Government have all confirmed this. The NHS is not at risk from TTIP or any other trade and investment agreement.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 24/03/2016 14:53:55 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>The inclusion of investment protections and investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) should not affect how public services are provided in Scotland or the rest of the UK. Investment protection seeks to protect businesses and individuals who have made investments overseas from unfair or discriminatory treatment and ISDS is about providing an independent legal means to resolve disputes which have arisen under the treaty. The proposals cannot force governments to open markets or privatise public services.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has bilateral investment agreements with over 90 countries which contain ISDS provisions and there has never been a successful claim brought against the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/03/2016 17:50:35 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2016 answer text <p>We expect that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will be a “mixed” agreement, covering areas of both EU and Member State competence. In that case, it will be subject to agreement by each EU Member State, the EU Council and the European Parliament. As part of this process the agreement will be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny before it is ratified by the UK.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 23/02/2016 15:48:01 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
