George Peretz QC gives evidence to the Trade Public Bill Committee

George Peretz QC will this afternoon be giving evidence to the House of Commons Public Bill Committee considering the Trade Bill.  The Trade Bill contains various measures designed to enable the UK to enter into trade agreements with third countries after Brexit, and sets up a new Trade Remedies Authority to administer an independent UK trade defence regime.  George has recently written a briefing for the UK Trade Policy Forum on the Government’s proposals for a trade defence regime.
