Asked by: Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat - North Shropshire)
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to the UK’s trading agreement with Canada on the British cheese industry.
Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)
As of 1 January 2024, U.K. exporters can export cheese to Canada tariff free if they do so through a Canadian importer with a licence for Canada’s “non EU” World Trade Organisation quota.
These changes only came into effect at the start of the year, and it is too early to determine the full impact.
We will continue to work closely with U.K. cheese exporters to monitor the impact of the changes, including what this means for the relationships between Canadian import licence holders and exporters.

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.
Answered by Lord Offord of Garvel - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
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.
