Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent steps she has taken to reduce unfair tariffs on UK exports.

As an independent trading nation, the UK is looking to strike successful trade deals with partners worldwide. We are seeking trade deals which will benefit businesses across the UK by reducing tariffs and offering preferential treatment to UK exports.

The Department for International Trade is currently negotiating with the US, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. We will use our voice as a newly independent trading nation to champion free trade, fight protectionism and remove barriers at every opportunity.
