Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent progress her Department has made on establishing tariff-free trade with the USA.
We already have a strong trading relationship with the United States worth £279 billion in 2022, and we are working to further improve the trading landscape and open market access. Over the past year we’ve removed US tariffs on UK steel and aluminium and removed the US ban on UK lamb. We’ve also been working closely on shared priorities identified at the 2022 UK-US Trade Dialogues – including digital trade and support for SMEs.
