Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of trade agreements (a) signed since January 2019 and (b) targeted for agreement in the next five years on (i) the economy, (ii) each employment sector and (iii) each of the UK regions in the next five years; and if she will make a statement.

Our published economic assessments set out the potential long-run impacts of new free trade agreements (FTAs) on the United Kingdom’s GDP, sectors, and employment, as well as the potential implications for all corners of the country.

Since January 2019, the department has published scoping assessments for potential new agreements with the US, Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and India and impact assessments at signature for FTAs with Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
