The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to help reduce trade barriers with the EU.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Government is committed to resetting our EU relationship, including by reducing barriers to trade. We will seek a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement to reduce unnecessary border checks and mutual recognition for professional qualifications, as well as helping our touring artists. We look forward to exploring these issues with our partners in the EU.
