Our sanctions against Russia do not target exports of medicines, nor do they seek to impede delivery of food supplies or humanitarian assistance. Our issue is not with the Russian people but with the actions of the Russian government and its supporters. We are committed to using the full range of tools available where necessary to mitigate unintended consequences on the delivery of humanitarian assistance.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 21/07/2022 12:30:21 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>Removing barriers boosts British exports globally to new and familiar markets. Teams across the Department – both in the UK and oversees – are working tirelessly to do so, opening up exciting new opportunities for British businesses across our four nations. We have an ambitious programme of FTA negotiations, bilateral Joint Economic Trade Committees (JETCOs), Enhanced Trade Partnerships and multiple technical discussions with partner countries to address the barriers that British business raise with us. And our ambition does not stop when a Free Trade Agreement is signed, our regular ongoing trade dialogues with FTA partners provide us with a forum to market access issues and open these markets still further.</p><p> </p><p>Removing our priority trade barriers has the potential to deliver export opportunities to British business worth roughly £20 billion. As a recent example, in July we removed a priority barrier with India through an agreement to recognise each other’s higher education qualifications. This will make UK universities even more appealing to Indian students where the benefits are estimated to be worth over £100,000 per person.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth West answering member printed Conor Burns question first answered 28/09/2022 13:59:52 answering member 3922 label Biography information for Sir Conor Burns
