Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps she is taking to ensure that a US-UK trade deal is compatible with the provisions of the Good Friday Agreement.

Our top priority remains protecting Northern Ireland’s (NI) place in our United Kingdom and preserving the gains from the peace process and the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. Economic growth is vital for preserving the peace in Northern Ireland. Hence, the UK Government will guarantee that NI businesses will benefit from the lower tariffs we deliver through a US-UK trade deal.
