Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to his oral contribution of 9 January 2018, on the Trade Bill, what plans he has made for the potential renegotiation of any existing EU trade agreements into UK law after the UK has left the EU.

Our priority is to secure continuity of the existing trade arrangements as we leave the EU, to provide certainty and stability for businesses, consumers and investors. After leaving the EU, we will be able to operate our own independent trade policy - negotiating new trade agreements with third countries.
