answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text <p>While the UK is still a member of the EU, all rights and obligations will apply. There will be no initial change in the way we trade with developing countries. The new Department for International Trade will work with the Department for International Development on the structure and access to the UK’s markets to be offered to developing countries. This will reflect the UK’s longstanding support for Least Developed Countries and other developing country trading partners including through preferential trade agreements. This recognises that trade can be an effective way of growing economies and reducing poverty internationally.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Price question first answered 25/07/2016 14:11:15 answering member 4570 label Biography information for Lord Price
