Landmark EU Trade Deal

At last, this Government has finally struck a sensible trade deal with the EU, one that is expected to boost our economy by £9 billion and deliver much of what we have been missing.

This deal brings practical benefits such as a security and defence partnership, access to Europe's emissions trading (lowering business costs and energy bills), and the return of faster travel through EU e-gates at passport control. It also includes new youth experience visas for our young people.

For Cornwall’s economy, the impact is significant. The deal reduces checks on food and fish exports, which is good news for our farmers and producers. It also removes the red tape that stopped our shellfish exporters from selling to the EU, something I have long pushed for on behalf of communities like Falmouth.

After a long time of stagnation. Britain is finally turning the page and beginning a new chapter.
