Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how much money her Department has spent on legal advice in relation to ISDS provisions in Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.

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).
