Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps he plans to take to ensure the replication of EU trade defence measures to prevent Chinese dumping on the UK market in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

In the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the Government’s priority is to provide continuity for UK industry. Our transition policy is therefore to ensure UK industry retains trade remedy protections on exit, and so we are committed to carrying across existing measures where there is a UK interest, and then reviewing them to make them UK specific. We will follow this approach for any anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard measures that are in place on exit day.
