Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has identified sector-specific barriers to UK investment in the Republic of Korea since conclusion of the UK–Republic of Korea Free Trade Agreement.

Throughout this negotiation we have sought to address current and future barriers, impacting both goods and services trade. Once the agreement enters into force, DBT will, in line with standard practice, monitor trade and investment flows to assess the impact of the new agreement. This will include seeking to identify any new and emerging sector-specific barriers affecting UK investment in the Republic of Korea.
