LOUISE Bours, UKIP health spokesperson and MEP, tells me that the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership, (TTIP) is in the very early stages and hasn't even been written yet.
Cllr Freda Henderson, Westhoughton, says this pact between the US, Europe and the UK, is being negotiated now and it is due to be signed in 2015.
Again in Thursday's Bolton News, Cllr Henderson quotes from an article in the Law Society Gazette, March 2014: "Charges may come about quickly. It is intended that the TTIP be concluded in 2015."
Once again I ask for answers from our MPs. Is the NHS, and other social services, being included in these negotiations? Is there a possibility that parts of the NHS, and other social services, will be sold under this trade partnership? Why are the public not being informed?
