DEAL: We have agreed a zero tariff free trade deal which is great news for British families and businesses.
[Breakdown of the deal below]
From January 1, the UK and EU will have a free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas.
We will have control of our laws with no role for the European Court of Justice.
This deal includes a commitment to maintaining high labour, environment and climate standards without giving the EU any say over our rules.
We can now take full advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to us as an independent trading nation, striking trade deals with other partners around the world.
