At the time the UK announced that they were to leave the European Union, New Zealand officials and Ministers were there very, very quickly to talk to them about the importance of a trade agreement with New Zealand—but, more than that, to talk to them about the type of trade agreement or relationships they should have with the world. I want to particularly recognise a former trade Minister for the United Kingdom, Liam Fox, who made the first clear, absolute commitment to New Zealand, to me when I was there at a Commonwealth Trade Ministers Meeting, when he said that New Zealand would be the first cab off the rank, along with Australia, once they had left the European Union. I am so very, very pleased that the UK honoured that commitment they made to New Zealand and that this Government has followed through with them—the new Government in New Zealand—to make sure that we got a trade deal, because trade is important for New Zealand. We produce more than we can consume. We are an export nation, and we often are held at a disadvantage.
