Trade Agreements: Developing Countries
(asked on 22nd February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
What recent assessment he has made of the potential effect of UK trade deals with poorer countries on the economies of those countries.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2018
The UK is proudly committed to spending 0.7% of Gross National Income on Overseas Development Assistance, the first G7 country to honour its promise to do so.
The Cross-Border Trade Bill will allow the UK to put in place a trade preference scheme as we leave the EU. In the future, the Government will also explore options to expand our relationships with developing countries.
