Post-Brexit trade deals must prioritise high-quality British jobs, the Government has been warned by business groups, consumer rights bodies and unions.
The International Chamber of Commerce, Trades Union Congress and Which? are among 11 organisations that have written to International Trade Secretary Liz Truss demanding she urgently codify the UK’s approach to trade.
The warning comes amid claims that International Trade Secretary Liz Truss is trying to railroad the controversial agreement through before a promised watchdog is up and running.
