Written Question

Trade Agreements

Monday 17th October 2016

Asked by: Rupa Huq (Labour - Ealing Central and Acton)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he plans for any trade agreement between the UK and EU to come into force after the UK leaves the EU to be undertaken alongside negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Robin Walker

We are considering in detail the advantages and disadvantages of several different approaches. But we will not undermine the Government’s negotiating position by giving a running commentary on our position before negotiations have even started.

The Prime Minister has spoken of getting a bespoke deal for the country - what we want is the right deal, on both trade for the UK and our relationship with the EU.
