Yeah CETA, our MPs get no debate on that either...


MPs will only be allowed to debate a controversial free trade deal between the European Union and Canada after it has already been signed, the Government has said.

Liam Fox, the Secretary of State for International Trade, said in a letter to Parliament’s European Scrutiny Committee that the “parliamentary timetable” was such that a debate could not reasonable be scheduled before he signed the agreement.

The denial of parliamentary scrutiny ahead of the signing comes as the Government sidelines parliament in Brexit negotiations. Theresa May has refused to grant MPs a vote on the opening terms of negotiations with the EU.
