Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her Department has taken to reduce barriers to global trade for British businesses.

In the financial year 2020-21, we resolved over 200 trade barriers across 74 countries. Removing these barriers supports British businesses to trade globally, such as opening access to Indonesia’s cosmetics market that imports £374 million a year, and access to the US for British lamb that is estimated to be worth £37 million in first five years of trade.
