Conclusion
Trade is a reserved policy competence and it is the role of UK Government to lead on negotiations over future trade agreements. Depending on how deep their provisions, new trade agreements may have direct implications for devolved policy areas. The devolved administrations therefore should be routinely consulted in the development of UK-wide trade strategies.
