When she plans to publish the results of her consultation entitled Fur market in Great Britain.
When she plans to publish the results of her consultation entitled Fur market in Great Britain.
Following on from that, the Government’s own impact assessment shows a £94 million hit to farming, forestry and fishing sectors, and a £225 million hit to the semi-processed food industry. The Government have also negotiated first-year tariff-free allowances of a 6,000% increase on Australian-imported beef to the UK. Can the Secretary of State outline what conversations that she has had with the NFU, specifically about the impact of that deal on British agriculture?

We have continual and regular discussions with the NFU and other agriculture bodies. As I have just said, they have been integrally involved in the discussions all the way through, and I know that the ministerial team will continue to meet them. I believe that my Minister responsible for exports will be having a meeting with them next week.
If the Secretary of State’s global Britain is to mean anything, we must not put all our eggs in one basket. I think it fair to say that, in recent times, the Secretary of State has bet everything on securing a trade deal with the Trump Administration. She might want to conclude a deal with Canada, but the Prime Minister there said that the Secretary of State had lacked the “bandwidth” to focus on getting a deal with his country. Does she intend to ignore that criticism and continue making a deal with the US her dominant priority? If so, what confidence does she have that the Biden Administration will feel the same way in terms of their own priorities for trade?

We have now secured trade deals with 52 countries. We have secured a deal with Japan that goes beyond and above the EU’s agreements, we are working on accession to the trans-Pacific partnership and we are negotiating with Australia and New Zealand, so we are by no means entirely focused on the US, but it is our largest single country trading partner. I am always struck by the anti-Americanism among Opposition Members. They simply do not understand that these deals are incredibly important for British business. As for the comments from overseas Governments on our trade negotiations, it is interesting that Labour Members simply like to repeat their “lines to take”. Maybe they need to think of some of their own ideas.
What assessment she has made of the potential effect on UK trade policy of the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election.
What assessment she has made of the potential effect on UK trade policy of the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election.
We have made good progress on our US deal, agreeing the majority of text and the majority of chapters. We are working with both sides of the House in the US for a deal that benefits both our nations.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps his Department is taking to encourage World Trade Organisation (WTO) members to meet their obligations under Article 25 of the WTO's Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps his Department is taking to encourage World Trade Organisation (WTO) members to meet their obligations under Article 25 of the WTO's Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
The UK is a strong supporter of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) subsidies rules. The Government believes that it is critical for WTO members to notify their subsidies and meet their other obligations under Article 25 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. The EU and other WTO Members have put forward proposals to encourage notification and the Government will continue to engage with that work. Once the UK has left the EU, we will be looking to ensure that all WTO obligations are fulfilled.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential effect on regional trade growth in the UK of hosting the 2025 World Expo.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential effect on regional trade growth in the UK of hosting the 2025 World Expo.
The government continues to promote regional trade growth across the UK, and has recently established the new Department for International Trade to promote the UK’s exports and trade and drive inward investment. As ever, we remain open to opportunities to promote growth across the UK and encourage further international trade and investment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with his US counterpart on Chinese market economy status.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with his US counterpart on Chinese market economy status.
Our officials regularly exchange views with the US on this issue. Given that the decision on whether or not to grant China market economy status will be taken at the European Union level, the government’s main discussions have been with the Commission and other Member States. I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills my right hon. Friend the Member for Bromsgrove (Sajid Javid) on 29 January 2016 (PQ 24530).
