Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will hold discussions with car manufacturers in the West Midlands on frictionless car manufacturing supply chains.

Ministers in my Department and across Government continue to engage with companies from all sectors and across the country - including with the car manufacturing sector - to hear their priorities and issues as we leave the European Union. In July we hosted a business engagement event at Chevening House. Representatives from the automotive manufacturing sector with a presence in the West Midlands, including Jaguar Land Rover and BMW UK, were among the attendees at this event.
