Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the modelling of Scenario 2 set out in her Department's report, UK-Australia free trade agreement: the UK's strategic approach, published 17 June 2020, assumes the elimination of all tariffs on bovine meat and sheep meat.

The scoping assessments published back in June 2020 for Australia and New Zealand assessed the potential impacts of a deal in advance of negotiations, under various illustrative scenarios.

Modelling for scenario 2 in these documents assumes the elimination of all tariffs, including those on bovine meat and sheep meat.
