answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2022 answer text <p>A UK-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) could have a significant positive impact on living standards for households across the UK due to potential wage rises combined with lower prices for goods imported from the US. The Department for International Trade (DIT) analysis published in 2020 shows that an ambitious FTA with the US could deliver a £15.3 billion increase in bilateral trade and a £3.4 billion lift to the UK economy. DIT’s analysis also suggests productivity gains from a UK-US FTA could contribute to wage increases of up to £1.8 billion for UK workers in the long run.</p><p> </p><p>Further detail can be found in the report on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uks-approach-to-trade-negotiations-with-the-us" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uks-approach-to-trade-negotiations-with-the-us</a></p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/02/2022 12:08:49 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
