Context
The Department of International Trade has announced the launch of negotiations with Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
What recent progress her Department has made on negotiating free trade deals? Can she confirm that any trade deal with the United States will not lower our standards on imported food?
We are launching negotiations with Japan, Australia and New Zealand. We will not lower our food import standards as a result of the US deal; maintaining those standards is crucial to quality assurance in the UK. Norfolk companies stand to benefit by £345 million.
