UK-Australia trade negotiations

Inquiry

The Government has made agreeing a comprehensive free trade agreement (“FTA”) with Australia an early priority. The first round of trade negotiations between the UK and Australia commenced on 29 June 2020.

A trade deal with Australia would be one of the first major trade agreements pursued by a post-Brexit UK. This inquiry will focus on the Government’s aims and objectives, the progress of negotiations, and the possible impacts of a final deal for people and businesses across the UK. It is not yet known when the talks will conclude, but this inquiry will run for the duration of those talks.

We have also collected evidence on UK-Australia trade negotiations as part of our inquiry on UK accession to the CPTPP.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Wednesday 9 February 2022.
