Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with UK trade partners onĀ inserting clauses on environmental standards into future trade deals.
The UK is seeking ambitious environmental provisions in all future trade deals, including those which preserve our high levels of environmental protection and ensure our trade and environment policies are mutually supportive.
Negotiations, including with both Australia and New Zealand, are progressing and the UK is also preparing for the next phase of negotiations, including with India, Mexico and Canada.
