Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether he has held trade negotiations with his counterpart in any non-EU state.
Answered by Mark Garnier - Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Work and Pensions)
Ministers and officials in the Department for International Trade are working closely with counterparts across a wide range of markets in order to promote the UK as a great place to do business and with which to trade. We have established a series of working groups and high-level dialogues with key trade partners, to explore the best ways of progressing our trade and investment relationships. However, as members of the EU, the UK cannot negotiate and conclude new trade agreements.
