Nick Herbert – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nick Herbert on 2016-03-22.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the legal status of the UK’s existing trade agreements agreed through membership of the EU of the UK leaving the EU.

Mr David Gauke

All of the EU’s Free Trade Agreements would cease to apply to the UK if we left the EU, since they only apply to the territories to which the EU Treaties apply.
