Abstract

The Labour Government is on a trade deal spree. After signing a free trade agreement with India, the UK made a pact with the US to remove some of the tariffs on UK car and aerospace exports, and finally a new agreement with the EU was also signed. Significant as these deals are politically, Adam Butlin writes, their economic return will remain rather limited, primarily because of the absence of a significant services deal.
