The United Kingdom has long promoted her values globally. We are clear that more trade does not have to come at the expense of our values. While our approach to agreements will vary between partners, it will always allow HM Government to have open discussions on issues, including rights and responsibilities. The Secretary of State continues to engage with a wide range of colleagues, including Cabinet, on issues across our Department’s work.
