The UK remains committed to pursuing free trade. We are looking to deliver maximum continuity and certainty for businesses in our trade and investment relationships with third countries once we leave, as well as to ensure continued preferential arrangements for developing countries. We are actively exploring what may be possible with our trading partners on ways to achieve this.
