Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what support his Department plans to offer to small businesses who encounter supply chain delays after the UK leaves the EU.

The Department has engaged with over 500 businesses across the UK to understand the impact at the border of the UK’s exit from the EU.

Government will continue to work closely with businesses and trade associations to support business through any changes required as a result of the implementation of our future trading relationship with the EU.

We are working with the Department for Exiting the European Union and the Treasury to minimise disruption and maximise certainty for business.

Our Industrial Strategy will also help ensure UK industry continues to prosper as we exit the EU.
