To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to make a bilateral free trade agreement with New Zealand after Brexit.
Baroness Fairhead
The Minister of State, Department for International Trade
Both the UK and New Zealand have publicly committed to pursuing a bilateral Free Trade Agreement once the UK has left the EU.
In July 2018, my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade launched a consultation seeking views on future free trade agreement negotiations, including with New Zealand. The consultations closed in October and the Department for International Trade is currently considering the responses.
