Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps she is taking to improve access for UK exporters to high growth global markets.

Answered by Graham Stuart

We have secured trade agreements with 66 non-EU countries, worth £217bn in 2019.
