Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps his Department is taking to promote the Cumbrian nuclear industry in international trade negotiations.

In due course, Britain will be leaving the EU. This offers us an opportunity to forge a new

role for ourselves in the world as a positive and powerful force for free trade. The Prime Minister has established the Department for International Trade to promote British trade across the world and ensure the UK takes advantage of the huge opportunities open to us. The Government is currently reviewing its trade policy. We will engage fully on this with a broad range of stakeholders over the coming weeks and months.
