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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2016 answer text <p>The European Commission shares classified documents relating to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with Members of the European Parliament via a reading room. Following pressure from Member States, the Commission and the US have agreed that national parliamentarians should have similar access to classified TTIP documents, including consolidated texts, via reading rooms in national ministries. Restrictions placed on these rooms include that they are only accessible to officials of Member State central governments and Members of Member State national Parliaments.</p><p> </p><p>The UK intends to establish such a reading room in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. This will give equivalent access to documents for hon. Members of both Houses to that afforded to Members of the European Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 16/02/2016 15:03:44 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
