"The new bill will bring into force the food and drink trade deal with the EU, containing powers that enable the government to dynamically align with Europe on areas where it has already made agreements."
"Ministers argue the move will add billions to the UK economy and help temper the cost of the conflict while boosting sluggish productivity."
"Parliament can either approve or reject secondary legislation, but cannot amend it, which would probably mean MPs will rubber-stamp new deals rather than debate and vote on every one."
UK ministers are preparing to introduce legislation that could enable the UK to align with EU single market rules without normal parliamentary votes. This move aims to strengthen ties with the EU following the Iran war and is expected to boost the UK economy.

It utilizes Henry VIII powers, enabling ministers to enact laws through secondary legislation, limiting parliamentary scrutiny and debate on new agreements.
