Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what proportion of the value of the UK's international trade in (a) goods and (b) services is conducted under free trade agreements.

In 2017, UK goods trade with non-EU countries, with which the UK has a preferential trading relationship due to its membership of the EU, accounted for 12.4% (equivalent to £102bn) of total UK goods trade with the world.

In 2016, UK services trade with non-EU countries, with which the UK has a preferential trading relationship due to its membership of the EU, accounted for 11.2% (equivalent to £45bn) of total UK services trade with the world.
