Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Price on 8 November (HL2954), in what respect the terms of UK membership of the World Trade Organisation will need updating.

The UK is a founding member of the World Trade Organisation. As an EU Member State, the UK’s obligations in the World Trade Organization are shared with the European Union, and specific commitments are set out in EU schedules. As we leave the EU, we will need to establish specific UK schedules of commitments.
