Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 18 September 2020 to Question 89629, whether her Department has not yet signed agreements to roll over current trade arrangements with 31 non-EU countries, comprising (a) the 23 countries listed in the Trade Agreements Still in Discussion section of her Department’s website and (b) Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Suriname, Samoa, Comoros, San Marino and Andorra.

We are continuing our programme to replicate the effects of existing EU trade agreements with trading partners to secure continuity for British businesses following the transition period. An up-to-date list of trade continuity agreements, signed and in discussion, is publicly available on GOV.UK (LINK) – and this will be updated to reflect a change in status for agreements in discussion when they are signed.
