Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what the Government's objectives are in the work of the Doha Development Agenda. [191482]

Michael Fallon, Minister of State for Business and Energy: Our immediate objective is to implement those elements of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) that were agreed at the 9th WTO Ministerial Conference in Bali in December last year. Trade facilitation, worth in itself almost half of the value of DDA, represents the bulk of the deal. This was accompanied by agreements in agriculture and development issues. The remaining elements of the DDA are agriculture, non-agricultural market access, and trade in services and we would like to move forward on all of these, although we cannot be sure of quick progress on all elements.
