Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her department is taking to increase trade between the UK and Israel.

My Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister has committed to enhancing and improving the UK-Israel Free Trade Agreement. The United Kingdom published a Call for Input on February 1^st to hear the views of businesses and wider society on how to improve our £4.8 billion trade relationship. Israel is one of the world’s most dynamic and innovative economies and this will be a first step in strengthening our trade relationship even further.
