Evidence
The Commission conducts evidence-gathering sessions, site visits and other events to allow Commissioners to take evidence from small businesses and large, from trade experts and economists, from trade bodies and trade unions, to propose practical recommendations to the UK Government as they enter the TCA review, as well as making recommendations about existing and proposed trade deals with the rest of the world. We publish transcripts and videos of our full sessions here.

Science, Research & Innovation
Science, research, and innovation are increasingly seen as crucial ingredients to a country’s economic performance. They are also at the centre of the response to global challenges as immediate as covid or tackling climate change, and unsurprisingly therefore require international collaboration. There are broad policy challenges involved from attracting and retaining the best researchers, through to seeking commercial exploitation of the innovations. These continue to be hugely important to the UK’s future prosperity.
