Written Question
Biofuels: USA
Monday 19th May 2025

Asked by: Graham Stuart (Conservative - Beverley and Holderness)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the UK-US trade deal on the UK's bioethanol industry.

Answered by Douglas Alexander - Minister of State (Cabinet Office)

Whenever a trade agreement of any sort is agreed, there will be domestic impacts if our trading partners have requested further access to the UK market. That is the case for the agreement on bioethanol. Senior officials from the Department for Business and Trade have been meeting representatives of the domestic bioethanol industry, and the Secretary of State has met with bioethanol businesses. We are committed to working with the domestic bioethanol industry about their concerns.
