Select Committee Inquiry
8 Apr 2026
UK trade with the EU
Business and Trade Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 18 May 2026)


At a Joint Summit in May 2025, the UK and EU agreed to a Security and Defence Partnership, and published a “Common Understanding”, setting out shared commitments to deepen cooperation. Progress since that initial summit has been limited, with core areas for agreement still to conclude. 

The Business and Trade Committee therefore wishes to assess the delivery and expected benefits of the Government’s EU reset to date, and to examine whether the current approach is the right model to achieve the UK’s aims.

8 Apr 2026
UK trade with the US
Business and Trade Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 18 May 2026)


The Business and Trade Committee is conducting its bi-annual stock take on the UK-US economic and trade agreements, building on its baseline report US Economic Prosperity Deal (HC 1306, 2024–26). 

Since that report, the Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD) framework has been extended through a Technology Prosperity Deal (TPD) and an agreement on pharmaceutical tariffs. The Committee invites evidence on what has been delivered, and the priorities for future UK-US collaboration.
