The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department is negotiating a free trade agreement with Greenland.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

This government’s top priority is economic growth. We are working with officials to review these negotiations to date, and their alignment with the Government’s wider international and domestic priorities.

We have already concluded trade agreements with the US and India, and restarted talks with a number of others including the Gulf, Switzerland and South Korea.

Greenland is an important trading partner to the UK and the Government will continue to work closely with Greenland to improve and strengthen our bilateral relationship.
