Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if he will guarantee non-reciprocal preferential market access for developing countries when negotiating future trade deals.

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 are seeking to achieve continuity in our trade and investment relationships, including those covered by existing EU free trade agreements or EU preferential arrangements. We are exploring with our trading partners ways to achieve this.
