The UK and Australia have agreed on the main elements of a free trade deal, prime ministers of the two countries have announced on Tuesday.

London said that the “fundamentally liberalising” deal will eliminate tariffs on all UK goods and boost jobs and businesses across the country. UK citizens under the age of 35 will also be able to travel and work in Australia more freely.
