Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the first round of negotiations for a UK-US Free Trade Agreement that took place between 5 May and 15 May 2020, if she will publish the text proposals for consideration by the US States tabled by the Government; and if she will make a statement.

As part of the UK-US Free Trade Agreement negotiation process, the negotiating teams are required to exchange information. As is standard practice, letters from the UK Chief Negotiator, Oliver Griffiths, and Assistant USTR, Daniel Mullaney, pertaining to the handling of information and other facets of the negotiation, and agreed by both negotiating teams, have been exchanged.
