Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what his policy is on whether the UK's schedules of concessions and commitments will be submitted to the WTO as modifications or as rectifications after the UK has left the EU.

As the proposed UK schedules will replicate the UK obligations contained in the current EU schedules and not alter the scope of UK concessions the Government intends to follow the WTO rectification procedures established, in 1980, for goods, and 1999, for services.
