BBC News - TTIP: Cameron pledges support for EU-US trade deal

BBC News - TTIP: Cameron pledges support for EU-US trade deal:

 

 David Cameron has pledged to put "rocket boosters" behind plans for an EU-US free trade deal.

The UK prime minister said EU and US leaders had met and all agreed the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) "is a deal we want".

Speaking at the G20 summit, he said arguments against TTIP were "weak" and fears over the NHS were "nonsense".

Many opponents are concerned about TTIP giving firms power to sue governments if they are hit by policy changes.

Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite union, has called for the NHS to be excluded from the deal.
