Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what role the devolved Administrations will have in developing the UK’s trade policy after the UK leaves the EU.

Answer

The UK Government is committed to working closely with the Devolved Administrations to deliver a future trade policy that works for the whole of the UK. The Government recently committed to a new Ministerial Forum on International Trade with the Devolved Administrations which will provide a formal mechanism for Devolved Government Ministers to discuss and provide input to future trade negotiations.

My Department continues to work with the Devolved Administrations on their role in future trade arrangements and is supporting this work with a programme of ongoing engagement at both Ministerial and official level.
