Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what assessment he has made of the effect on the personal protective equipment market of the UK leaving the EU.

We are working closely with colleagues across government and industry to understand the implications of the UK leaving the EU on manufacturers of personal protective equipment.

We want to achieve the freest possible trading relationship with our European neighbours. We want to ensure that UK companies, including personal protective equipment manufacturers, have the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within European markets, and to let European businesses do the same in the UK.
