Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure the UK’s trade relationships with the US and EU remain strong.

The EU and the US are two of our largest trading markets, together accounting for over 64% of total UK trade. We are committed to strengthening our trade and investment relationships with both the EU and US and to working together to remove unnecessary barriers to trade

As set out by the Chancellor, we recognise that our markets are highly interconnected. This government’s main priority is growing the UK economy – strengthened trade with our most economically important partners is a major part of that.
