Committees

UK trade negotiations: Agreement with Australia

Inquiry

The Committee is scrutinising the Government’s free trade agreement (FTA) with Australia. It will take written and oral evidence before publishing a report on the FTA, and potentially recommend a House of Commons debate before MPs consider whether to approve ratifying the agreement. 

The Committee invites stakeholders to tell it what they think of the FTA, and ran a call for evidence until 5pm on 16 January. The relatively short deadline for submissions was necessary so that the Committee can consider written evidence ahead of its oral evidence sessions and finalising its report. 

The terms of reference for the inquiry can be found here.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Sunday 16 January 2022.
