Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what meetings she or her officials have had with NGOs about a future free trade agreement with the Gulf Co-operation Council.

The Department regularly engages a range of interested individuals and organisations on our trade negotiations, including through our Strategic Trade Advisory Group and Thematic Working Groups. We received a range of written responses through our recent public consultation on a future trade deal with the Gulf Cooperation Council too.
