Helen Liddell – 2023 Comments on the Scrutiny of the Australia Trade Bill (Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke)

The comments made by Helen Liddell, Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke, on 15 January 2023.

I do not think there has been sufficient scrutiny of Trade Bills and that is not helped by the non availability of a trade strategy. This is the prevailing view of the International Agreements Committee of which I am a member. And a number of Peers from around the House shared that view.

The jury is out on whether we will get sufficient information in future, India discussions are likely to be a test of that.
