Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

UK/US Free Trade Agreement

Contribution

Can the Minister confirm the reports in the paper today that the Government will be anxious to secure a trade deal with the US as quickly as possible? Can he further confirm that that would not be possible if we were still members of the EU? What will happen with the talks that have been pushed on with the European Union? Is there not a danger that one will conflict with the other and that it will not be possible to have a trade deal with the US and the EU at the same time?
