Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of the UK leaving the Common External Tariff on developing countries.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2017
Leaving the Common External Tariff ensures we can take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate our own preferential trade agreements around the world. We are looking into options for future trading arrangements, recognising the need for a smooth transition which minimises disruption for developing countries.
