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.
We have secured trade deals with 70 countries around the world, plus the EU, covering trade worth £772 billion in 2020.
In addition, we resolved over 200 trade barriers across 74 countries during the 2020/21 financial year - an increase of 20% on the previous year, securing access for wheat to be exported to Mexico, a market which imports approximately £900 million of wheat a year, and opening the Chilean market for British pork exports, estimated to be worth £20 million in the first five years of trade.
