Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will consult stakeholders on the potential impact of the removal of anti-dumping and countervailing measures on non-folding e-bikes imported from China on UK cycle manufacturers.

I refer the Rt. hon. Member to the answer I gave on 7^th May to question UIN 48699 (Written questions and answers - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament).

The Trade Remedies Authority is responsible for assessing the evidence presented to them by UK industry and other stakeholders in an investigation prior to submitting a recommendation to the Secretary of State. If industry is concerned about the impact of unfair foreign trade practices, they should directly engage the Trade Remedies Authority.
