Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many trade agreements require the use of biosecurity (a) facilities and (b) services provided by the Animal and Plant Health Agency in New Haw; and if he will make an estimate of the contribution of these trade agreements to the UK's gross domestic product.

The UK has over 70 trade agreements in place. APHA facilities and services managing the risks posed by animal diseases to human and animal health are crucial to underpinning the biosecurity of imports and exports under all of them.

Published impact assessments for the UK’s trade agreements can be found on Gov.uk.
