Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the Answer of 21 April 2017 to Question 70330, on developing countries: overseas trade, if he will publish an interim report of the ongoing review of the UK's future trade policy.

The Government will bring forward a paper on trade policy ahead of trade legislation in this parliamentary session. It will set out the Government’s emerging approach to developing an independent UK trade policy, including our trade with developing countries. The Department for International Trade and the Department for International Development will continue to work together on trade to maximise the opportunities for countries to trade their way out of poverty.
