Trade Agreements: China
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Minister for Trade Policy and Economic Security held discussions on (a) UK-China trade relations, (b) economic security and (c) any (i) existing and (ii) proposed commercial agreements during his recent visit to China; and whether he plans to publish a summary of the Minister's discussions.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
During my visit to China, I held frank and honest discussions with my counterparts on the opportunities and challenges in the bilateral trade relationship, including improving overall reciprocity in market access, raising UK concerns on level playing field issues and market distorting practices and discussing economic security issues. I am unable to comment on commercial discussions during the visit, for reasons of commercial sensitivity.
