Nov 16 (Reuters) - UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said
the Labour Party will exclude Britain's National Health Service
and medicines from trade deals with the United States, as he
accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of covering up "secret
talks" on the NHS.
"Boris Johnson is engaged in a cover-up of secret talks for
a sell-out American trade deal that would drive up the cost of
medicines and lead to runaway privatisation of our health
service," Corbyn wrote in the Observer http://bit.ly/2KsglM4.
"Our public services are not bargaining chips to be traded
in secret deals. I pledge a Labour government will exclude the
NHS, medicines and public services from any trade deals – and
make that binding in law", he added.
