Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, when she plans to agree a revised Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement with Ukraine, to replace the current agreement signed on 8 October 2020; and for what reason a revised agreement is necessary.

The United Kingdom-Ukraine Political Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement, entered into force on 1^st January 2021. Neither the United Kingdom nor Ukraine are seeking to replace it. It is standard practice for agreements to be amended and updated over time to align with the developing interests of those involved, or to add greater clarity where this is helpful to businesses.
