As a matter of priority, the Government is working to ensure there is no disruption to the UK’s global trading relationships, including maintaining the effects of our existing preferential trade arrangements with Norway, South Korea and Turkey as far as possible. Ministers and officials are engaging with these partners to complete this work. Discussions are progressing on all these agreements.
The Government will be updating businesses and Parliament on the progress of this programme of work shortly.
