In due course, Britain will be leaving the EU. This offers us an opportunity to forge a new role for ourselves in the world: to negotiate, in time, our own trade agreements and to be a positive and powerful force for free trade. We recognise the need for a smooth transition which minimises disruption to our trading relationships. It would be wrong to set out unilateral positions at this stage. Already though we have seen expressions of interest in future trade deals with the United Kingdom, such as from the Prime Minister of Australia.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Somerset answering member printed Dr Liam Fox question first answered 26/08/2016 12:20:26 answering member 223 label Biography information for Sir Liam Fox
