Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the deadline set by the US Congress for the end of trade negotiations between the UK and the US.
Neither the UK nor US Governments have set any date for the end of negotiations, however both sides are equally committed to negotiating a comprehensive free trade agreement as swiftly as possible. The first round of negotiations began on 5th May.
