Written Question
Trade Agreements: Commonwealth
Friday 21st October 2022

Asked by: Mark Eastwood (Conservative - Dewsbury)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, when she plans to publish the full details of the New Commonwealth Deal.

Answered by James Duddridge

We are committed to working with our friends and allies in the Commonwealth to remove unnecessary barriers to free and fair trade, strengthen trading relationships, and building better, greener and more resilient global supply chains.

Of the 55 other Commonwealth members, we have trade agreements with 33 and an additional 16 qualify for preferential access to the UK market under the Developing Countries Trading Scheme.

There are no current plans to proceed with a Commonwealth New Deal as we are negotiating an ambitious programme of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) at unprecedented pace to help our nation become a truly Global Britain. We are progressing negotiations to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), as well as negotiating FTAs with India, Canada, Mexico, Israel, and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
