Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether her Department has sought any legal advice about the ISDS provisions in CPTPP.
All legal work on Investor-state dispute settlement within the Department for International Trade has been undertaken internally. Nothing has been spent by the Department on external legal advice regarding investor-dispute settlement provisions within its work on the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
