EHRC briefing - Trade Bill, HoC Report Stage

Equality and Human Rights Commission

1 min read Partner content

Ahead of next week’s Report Stage of the Trade Bill, please find below the summary of a briefing from the Equality and Human Rights Commission.


In this briefing, we set out our analysis of the steps that need to be taken to ensure the Trade Bill fully delivers the Government’s stated commitment to non-regression of equality and human rights protections, in a way that guards against the excessive transfer of power from Parliament to the Executive.

This briefing covers our priorities for this Bill, which are to:

1) Clarify that delegated powers cannot be used to reduce equality rights and human rights protections, and 
2) Ensure robust equality and human rights impact assessments of trade agreements. 

You can read the full briefing here.
