Trade Agreements: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he will publish an economic impact assessment of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The UK concluded a landmark economic deal with the US in May which will save thousands of jobs, protect key British industries, and help drive economic growth.
We remain focused on implementing the first phase of the deal so that businesses up and down the country feel the benefits as soon as possible.
We are continuing talks on a wider UK-US Economic Deal which will look at addressing specific non-tariff barriers, increasing digital trade, and unlocking new commercial opportunities that benefit both nations. We will keep the House fully informed on these developments along with the expected economic outcomes of the final deal.
Impact assessments are completed at the conclusion of a Free Trade Agreement.
