Once ratified in Canada, the TCA will lock in preferential trade in goods and services worth £23 billion in 2019. We also signed a <em>memorandum of understanding</em> (MOU) with Canada on 21 December 2020 ensuring continued preferential goods trade pending full ratification. The TCA sets out a clear path to begin negotiating a new, more ambitious trade deal, which will be tailored to the British economy and interests. The Department is currently preparing for these talks with a view to beginning negotiations later in the year.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 09/03/2021 15:37:30 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
