Following the news of the Canada-UK rollover and announcement of a bespoke FTA to be negotiated in 2021, Deputy Director Matt Kilcoyne said:

"The days of being told continuity and bespoke deals in record time would be beyond the capability of the UK are long gone. This deal is a sensible stop-gap but the bigger news is the confirmation of a bespoke free trade agreement to be negotiated next year. Canada joins the rest of our Five Eyes allies now firmly at the front of the queue. As we leave the EU we find firm friends welcoming Britain on the global stage."
