Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent steps she has taken to ensure that the rights of workers in Newport West constituency are maintained in all UK trade agreements.

HM Government shares the public’s high regard for workers' rights, and we have been clear that there will be no reduction in protections from existing trade deals or when signing up to new ones. Our agreements secured with both Australia and New Zealand demonstrate this. British workers across the country will benefit, including those of Newport West.
