answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2016 answer text <p>The EU–Canada Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) could be worth up to £1.3 billion per year to the UK economy. The Government is therefore keen to see the agreement implemented as soon as possible.</p><p>The Government considers, along with other Member States, that CETA is a “mixed agreement”. 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 subsequently conclusion, will be subject to scrutiny in both houses of the UK Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 15/06/2016 11:47:09 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
