The UK Government is developing a trade policy that will work for every part of the United Kingdom, and will continue to champion the interests of companies and citizens across the UK, including in Wales. I am in regular contact and working closely with the Secretary of State for International Trade to ensure that we get the best possible deal for Wales and will continue to do so going forward to ensure Wales’ needs are fully considered.
