Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the 23 April 2021 Joint Statement on UK-Australia trade talks, whether the UK and Australia have reached consensus on the UK’s market access offer on agri-food products.
The UK and Australia continue to have discussions on market access, as both parties make progress with a view to reaching agreement in principle in June.
The Government’s aim is to reach far-reaching liberalisation of tariffs, ensuring that this is balanced and mutually beneficial for UK firms and consumers, whilst taking into account specific product sensitivities.
