Prior to that, former Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Lord Bridges hosted a roundtable in Leeds with Yorkshire business leaders and visited a manufacturing site.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As we move into the second phase of negotiations we are confident of agreeing a bold and ambitious Free Trade Agreement with the EU that is of greater scope than any such existing agreement. We believe that securing a future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, so we approach these negotiations anticipating success. We do not want or expect an outcome where no trade agreement is agreed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 22/12/2017 14:51:24 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
