Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what account the Government will take of the rail supply industry in future trade negotiations with EU and non-EU countries after the UK leaves the EU.

We are seeking a bold and ambitious economic partnership that is of greater scope and ambition than any such existing agreement.

The Government will take into account all areas of the UK economy as part of any future trade negotiations, including our valuable rail supply industry. The rail supply industry already exports goods and services around the world and we will build on this success in future negotiations.

We’re listening to the points raised by industry, including the rail supply industry and will continue to do so as we start to negotiate our withdrawal from the EU.
