Which? comments on the Public Accounts Committee's report on progress with trade negotiations
Sue Davies, Which? Head of Consumer Protection Policy, said:
"We welcome the Public Accounts Committee's call for the public and Parliament to be provided with clear and transparent information to understand the impact of trade agreements, including any policy trade-offs.
"Our research has found that although UK consumers are clear on what they want from trade negotiations - they want deals to maintain safety standards for food and products, keep their data secure online and look after the environment - more than two-thirds of people feel left in the dark about what new trade deals will mean for them.
"It is therefore vital that the government has a clear trade strategy which delivers on the issues consumers care about and engages with the public about what these agreements will mean for them in their everyday lives."
