answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>The Prime Minister, the European Commission and the US government have all confirmed that the EU-US Free Trade Agreement will pose no threat to the provision of key UK public services, such as NHS healthcare, and EU countries will be free to decide how they run their public health systems. The agreement could, however, benefit the UK economy by up to £10 billion a year in the long run, and should therefore benefit the public finances as well as businesses and workers. Small businesses in particular will benefit from removing unnecessary barriers to trade.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Maude of Horsham question first answered 14/07/2015 16:36:23 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>The EU-US Free Trade Agreement is expected to be a mixed agreement to which the UK will individually be a party. In that case before it can come fully into force, it will be subject to agreement by each Member State. In the UK this does not require legislation, instead Parliament will receive the complete draft text of the agreement and can scrutinise it through debates in both Houses. We will not know for certain whether any implementing legislation will be necessary until the agreement is closer to completion.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Maude of Horsham question first answered 14/07/2015 16:31:42 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
