Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when the terms of the Free Trade Agreement with New Zealand will commence.
Our ground-breaking free trade agreement with New Zealand is one of our first two ‘from scratch’ agreements since we left the EU, and is set to benefit every nation and region of the UK. We are working hard to bring the FTA into force at the earliest opportunity so businesses and consumers can reap the benefits. This includes working to pass the necessary legislation and to coordinate with New Zealand. We expect to be able to bring the agreement into force this spring.
