Last week, the UK government confirmed to the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) that they will be establishing a Unit within the Business and Trade Department to ensure SMEs get the full benefits of trade deals being implemented, starting with Australia and New Zealand. This is a key ask from their Trade Manifesto.
Also last week BCC Director General, Shevaun Havilland, met with the Shadow Trade Secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds, to discuss export support and the role of Chambers, Labour’s policy on trade deals, digital and green trade, and how to increase UK-EU trade.
The Australia and New Zealand trade agreements are likely to enter into force in late spring this year. The BCC will have summary documents and explainers ready in advance of this.
