Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to alter trade policy to enhance economic growth, further to the recommendations made in the final report of the Economy 2030 inquiry, Ending Stagnation: A New Economic Strategy for Britain, published by the Resolution Foundation on 4 December.

The Government notes the report and is already working to deliver economic growth through our trade strategy. We are opening markets through trade agreements and bilateral relationships, protecting UK business, and working to strengthen the World Trade Organisation and global rulebook. We are focused on deepening economic relationships with high-growth countries and providing businesses with the right foundations to drive growth and raise living standards. Noting the recommendation on services, we continue to negotiate ambitious commitments in Free Trade Agreements to remove barriers to services trade, provide greater choice, innovation, competition, and deliver meaningful benefits to UK businesses and consumers.
