The coalition government moved swiftly after the Brexit referendum to establish the Australia-UK Trade Working Group to scope out a future deal with the United Kingdom once it has exited the European Union. We formally launched negotiations with the EU yesterday, with the first negotiating round to be held in July. The coalition government is pursuing Australia's most ambitious trade agenda. Our foresight to position Australia to secure further market opportunities with both the EU and the UK is a demonstration of our commitment to economic growth and jobs.

Question agreed to.
