Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what mechanisms her Department uses to consult Overseas Territories on the provisions of future trade agreements.

The Department for International Trade engages regularly with representatives of Overseas Territories on the UK’s free trade agreements (FTAs).

The frequency of discussions regarding specific trade agreements will be determined by each territories’ respective interests.

The Department for International Trade has included an extension mechanism in UK FTAs giving Overseas Territories the opportunity to be part of these FTAs should they choose.
