Parliamentary Scrutiny of Trade Agreements Bill

This bill requires the UK government to submit trade agreements to Parliament for scrutiny and approval before they come into force. It gives MPs and Lords the power to review trade deals, debate their terms, and vote on whether to accept them, rather than allowing the government to sign agreements without parliamentary oversight. The bill aims to ensure that major trade agreements reflect Parliament's will and protect British interests in areas like workers' rights, environmental standards, and NHS access. Essentially, it shifts control over trade policy from executive decisionmaking to democratic parliamentary approval.
