Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether he plans to replicate existing EU non-reciprocal preferential trade agreements with developing countries after the UK leaves the EU; and if he will make a statement.

The Government is currently reviewing its trade policy as the UK prepares to leave the EU.

The UK remains committed to ensuring developing countries can reduce poverty through trading opportunities. We recognise the need for a smooth transition which minimises disruption to our trading relationships, including with developing countries.
