To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what representations he has received from the metals industries on the effect on that sector of the UK leaving the EU.
Answered by Claire Perry
Ministers and officials have engaged extensively on EU exit with metals companies and representative bodies across the UK. Most recently, my right hon.

We want to achieve the best possible outcome and the strongest possible partnership - one that works for UK businesses.
