Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that protections for exports to third countries negotiated while the UK was a member of the EU are maintained following the UK's departure.
Since leaving the EU, HM Government has sought continuity for businesses, investors, and consumers in our trading relationships.
Of the non-EU countries that were in scope of our trade continuity programme, those secured to date account for 99% of the value of trade with all continuity partners. We have secured continuity agreements with 68 non-EU countries. The value of trade with these countries is £189bn in 2020.
