Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how long he expects it will take to negotiate trade deals with all the countries with which the UK currently has trade deals through the UK's EU customs union membership.

The UK Government is committed to seeking continuity in its current trade and investment relationships, including those covered by EU Free Trade Agreements or other EU preferential arrangements, as we leave the EU.

The UK Government is currently undertaking a broad range of work including discussions with our trading partners, and remains committed to ensuring continuity for businesses.
