Written Question
Trade Agreements
Wednesday 5th December 2018

Asked by: David Evennett (Conservative - Bexleyheath and Crayford)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the UK will be able to agree free trade deals with third countries during the transitional period proposed in the withdrawal agreement with the EU.

Answered by George Hollingbery

The UK cannot negotiate trade agreements whilst we are members of the EU.

Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU, the UK will be free to negotiate, sign, and ratify Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) during the Implementation Period (IP). We can only implement those agreements once the IP comes to an end.

Asked by: David Evennett (Conservative - Bexleyheath and Crayford)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made on the UK’s ability to agree free trade deals while maintaining a common rulebook for all goods with the EU after the UK leaves the EU.

Answered by Graham Stuart

The proposals in the white paper “The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union” would ensure the UK has an independent trade policy. The UK would be able to secure trade deals with other countries, including the US.
