William Huskisson (1770–1830) was the architect of a significant body of legislation which began to dismantle the mercantilist and protective structure of British commercial policy. Huskisson established commercial policy on a new basis of reciprocity which provided for commercial negotiations between states being characterised by the pursuit of tariff reductions. As such it represented a significant change towards commercial policy in Britain with implications for wider commercial agreements.
