‘Support for Commonwealth Trade’ (S4CT) is an independent campaign seeking to increase trade within the Commonwealth, especially between the UK and its Commonwealth partners. Its focus is on the practical actions needed and it draws support from across the political spectrum.
The campaign has three areas of focus:
-
The creation of a Commonwealth Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) to remove trade barriers and provide an alternative to the EU Single Market
-
Increasing Commonwealth trade via the adoption of eCommerce so that more business is done online which enables nations and businesses of all sizes to trade more easily
-
The role of UK free trade ports in enabling Commonwealth trade and how this could revitalise the UK regions
The campaign is formally launched in the Houses of Parliament on the July 12th.
