Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, which countries his Department plans to prioritise for future international free trade agreements in the event of the UK leaving the EU customs union.

Ministers and officials in the Department for International Trade are working closely with counterparts across a wide range of markets, in order to promote the UK as a great place to do business and with which to trade. We are taking advantage of all the opportunities available to us to ensure that Britain becomes the global leader in free trade once we leave the EU.
