To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment his Department has made of how World Trade Organisation rules would affect UK trade in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a trade deal.
Answered on

Currently all UK trade with members of the WTO is subject to WTO rules. This will not change when the UK leaves the EU.
DIT will continue to contribute trade policy expertise to input into DExEU’s preparations and negotiations with the EU.
We want the UK to have the greatest possible tariff and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours and also to be able to negotiate our own trade agreements around the world.
