There is still some work to be done but departments are making sensible decisions about prioritisation.</p><p>The underlying detail for each workstream, including any assessment of those programmes, is exceptionally sensitive.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>In the event of the UK leaving the EU with a negotiated agreement, the UK and EU have agreed that existing international agreements would apply as they do today for the duration of the implementation period.</p><p> </p><p>Nevertheless, we have been working with our trading partners to have bilateral agreements ready in place for when we need them, whether that is after an Implementation Period or for a potential No Deal. We have signed or agreed in principle agreements with 32 countries. Total trade in 2018 between the UK and these countries accounted for 63% of the UK’s trade with all the countries with which the UK is seeking continuity in the event of a potential No Deal.<sup>1</sup> That has moved from 28% since March.

They cover 65 countries that are party to 35 agreements. These are the countries covered by existing EU agreements in force in 2018. This excludes Turkey, Andorra, San Marino which are part of customs unions with the EU, and Japan, as the Economic Partnership Agreement only came into force on 1<sup>st</sup> February 2019.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 15/07/2019 15:58:51 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
