answer text <p>The Government is keenly aware of the importance of our existing trade agreements to individual businesses and sectors across the UK. For example, the trade continuity agreement with the Faroe Islands is of particular interest to UK processing sector, with almost £200 million worth of fish and crustaceans brought into the UK from the Faroe Islands in 2017. The agreement will allow imports to continue tariff-free and enable businesses to trade as freely as they do now. Similarly, the UK-Swiss trade continuity agreement means the British vehicles sector could avoid up to £8 million a year in tariff charges on their exports that would apply if the agreement wasn’t in place.</p><p> </p><p>This is why we are committed to replicating the effects of these agreements as far as possible so that businesses have certainty and stability as we leave the European Union. We are preparing for all eventualities.</p> more like this

answer text <p>If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK will implement a temporary tariff for up to 12 months. The Government held informal conversations specifically in relation to tariff policy throughout the summer of 2018 with businesses, including the automotive sector. The market sensitivities around the policy and ongoing EU negotiations have meant a formal consultation with business was not possible. However, a full consultation and review on a permanent approach would be undertaken during the 12 months.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department for International Trade works with the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure a clear cross-Government position on the protection of the NHS in future trade agreements. Protecting the UK’s right to regulate in the public interest and protect public services, including the NHS, is of the utmost importance. The Government has been consistently clear that we are committed to the fundamental principles of the NHS - that it is universal and free at the point of need. We will ensure that no trade agreements alter these fundamental facts.</p> more like this
