Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wendy Morton and Liam Fox

Thursday 8th September 2016 Commons Chamber

[Dr Fox]

There are indeed enormous opportunities with Commonwealth countries, and we will be wanting to explore with a number of those exactly how we might take forward trade working groups along the lines that we have already announced with Australia and with India. However, I point out that although we have political links with Commonwealth countries, they are not, in terms of economics and trading, homogenous. Therefore, there will be a great difference between the biggest markets and some of the smaller markets, although we will want to take a look at those that may be developing markets in the future.

[Wendy Morton (Aldridge-Brownhills) (Con)]
