Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the impact of the Economic Partnership Agreement on (a) African and (b) Caribbean countries.

The Department for Business and Trade engages closely with partner governments and businesses to gather feedback on tariff arrangements, including Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with African and Caribbean countries. Whilst this feedback is not shared externally, the Government does publish two sets of UK trade data with developing countries: statistics on UK utilisation of tariff preferences under trade agreements, and country factsheets outlining broader trade relationships.

These data sources are available on the gov.uk website.
