To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to Part 3 (3)(d) of the Trade etc. in Dual-Use Items and Firearms etc. (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, how the Government plans to work with the EU in respect of administering brokering licences.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

Answer

If we leave the EU without a deal the UK would no longer be able to participate in the EU’s formal information exchange and cooperation mechanisms. In such a scenario the creation of any future UK-EU cooperation and dialogue mechanisms would be subject to negotiation.
