(asked on 11th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what his policy is on exempting Japanese employees from visa quotas in any future UK-Japan trade agreement.
This question was answered on 19th June 2018
The UK does not have commitments on visa quotas in any free trade agreement.
We are seeking continuity in our trade and investment relationship with Japan. The Prime Minister and the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed in August 2017 to ‘work quickly to establish a new economic partnership between Japan and the UK based on the final terms of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement.’
