Trade Policy

Stephen Kerr Excerpts

Monday 16th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Dr Fox]

It will be dependent on what both sides are willing to concede and on the level of ambition that both sides have. Following my discussions, not least with the President of the United States last week, I am very optimistic that such an agreement is well within the reach of both parties.

[Stephen Kerr (Stirling) (Con)]

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement and congratulate him on the approach he is taking. When will he be able to set out the countries he is hoping to enter into negotiations with?

[Dr Fox]

I expect to be able to do that within days, rather than many weeks.
