No EU trade deal 'not the best way'

World at One

Available for over a year

Former director general of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Pascal Lamy has said the UK government's suggestion that leaving the EU with no trade deal is better than a bad deal, is "not the best way" to start negotiations. The former EU trade commissioner told Martha Kearney if the UK were to use WTO rules instead of a bilateral free trade agreement, trade would be "less open and then more costly".
