Trade Minister Dan Tehan has been working “throughout the night” to get the Australia-UK free trade agreement (FTA) ready for Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s sign-off when he lands in London.

Tehan said on Sunday that negotiating teams from the Australian and United Kingdom (UK) governments had made “enormous progress” over the past six weeks and would attempt to finalise the details over the next 24 to 48 hours.
