  House of Lords International Agreements Committee Inquiry on Trade in a turbulent world: how should the UK deploy its trade instruments

  By Achyuth Anil, Ingo Borchert, Michael Gasiorek and Sunayana Sasmal et al.

  View post

  Summary CITP publication

  In this evidence, we argue that the UK's trade policy should remain firmly rooted in the rules-based international trading system, while adapting to growing geopolitical tensions, supply chain risks and economic security concerns. We warn against abandoning the WTO-led system despite its current weaknesses and instead recommend reform, closer cooperation with allies and greater transparency over new trade agreements.
