Mr. Streeter
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on the trade relationship between the UK and North Korea. [114675]
Ms Hewitt
We have full diplomatic relations with North Korea, which include trade relations. There is no objection to UK companies trading with North Korea, if they wish to do so. However, given the political situation arising from the nuclear issue, all trade promotion activity by HMG has been suspended. Normal commercial activity will resume once the nuclear issue has been resolved.
