Written Question
Trade Agreements: Switzerland
Wednesday 17th April 2024

Asked by: Andrew Rosindell (Conservative - Romford)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent progress she has made on trade discussions with Switzerland.

Answered by Greg Hands - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Since launching trade negotiations with Switzerland in May 2023, the UK has held four rounds of negotiations on an enhanced Free Trade Agreement. The fourth round took place from 4 to 8 March 2024. Discussions were productive, provisionally closing the chapter on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This will help UK SMEs expand their operations more easily into the Swiss market.

The fifth round of negotiations is scheduled to take place in early summer where we will look to make further positive progress.

We continue to keep Parliament and the public informed through regular parliamentary and GOV.UK updates.
