19 Dec 2024Government wants closer EU ties and better US tradeUK GovernmentPosition
“[Speaker: The Prime Minister] I think that we can pursue both. I do not accept the argument that you have to either be with the US or be with the EU. That is not how it works at the moment with our current trade. We do want a closer relationship with the EU on security, on defence, on energy and, yes, on trade, and I have set out how we want to reset on a number of occasions.”

About this committee

Parliament's Liaison Committee oversees the work of House of Commons select committees and advises the Speaker on their structure and resources. Composed of the chairs of all major select committees, it operates in the Commons and takes oral evidence from senior figures including the Speaker and committee chairs. The committee coordinates cross-committee activity and addresses systemic issues affecting parliamentary scrutiny. Without recent analysed sessions available, the committee's current priorities cannot be detailed from the evidence record supplied.
