These include Switzerland, Chile, the Faroe Islands , Eastern and Southern Africa , Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
The UK also has mutual recognition agreements signed with the US, Australia and New Zealand .
Mr Fox , who was a prominent Leave campaigner, told the BBC: "Of course, we will get access to all the EU's free trade agreements if we leave the EU with a deal, which is the government's policy, and for all those who don't want any disruption, there's one easy way to avoid that, which is to vote for The Deal which the Prime Minister has.

People's Vote supporter and Labour MP Stephen Doughty said: "Brexiters promised that voting Leave would mean a bonanza of new International Trade deals that would Make Up for lost trade with the EU.
"Instead, Brexit is costing us the global trade deals we already have as EU members.
