Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
• The Ministerial Forum for Trade has been central to our constructive discussions on Welsh trade priorities. It has been warmly welcomed by devolved Ministers and will continue to facilitate conversations about our current and future free trade agreements as well as all other trade related matters. The Minister of State for Trade Policy regularly discusses ways of working with devolved Ministers, most recently at the Ministerial Forum for Trade in December 2020. Wider working arrangements will be constantly reviewed as part of the current engagement process.
