Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to encourage a global market for the UK's renewable energy and low carbon technologies.

We continue to support renewable energy and low carbon technologies globally; we are already a world leader in off-shore wind. Working alongside the Department for International Trade, we are negotiating new free trade agreements with countries outside the EU and working to support businesses through discussions on market access issues. We will also be ambitious in the upcoming EU negotiations to secure the best possible access for businesses to trade with and operate in the European market.
