BRITISH trade minister Liam Fox said on Wednesday that it was too soon to seek membership of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact.
"We don't know what the success of the TPP is going to look like, because it isn't yet negotiated. So it would be a little bit premature for us to be wanting to sign up to something that we're not sure what the final details will look like," he told Reuters.
