Context
Trade barriers have been increasing globally, affecting international trade.
Question
The hon. Lady asks about the assessment made regarding the effect of trade barriers to UK exports on the UK's contribution to the global economic recovery from the covid-19 pandemic.
Answer from Graham Stuart
I entirely agree with the sentiments expressed by the hon. Lady; she is absolutely right. Pre-covid, over the past decade, perhaps since the financial crash, there has been an increase in the number of trade barriers that have been erected, which is why, as an independent nation once again, we are so determined to champion free trade and to use the WTO and the other international fora referred to by colleagues to make sure that we make that case. It will lead to prosperity for all.
