Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have had any discussions with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Critical Minerals about international partnerships.

The Department for Business and Trade engages regularly with the All Party Parliamentary Group for Critical Minerals as part of its wider parliamentary and stakeholder outreach. Officials have participated in APPG meetings, including those focused on international alignment and partnerships, where they have provided updates on UK engagement with key partners and multilateral forums. This forms part of the Government's broader programme of international cooperation set out in the UK Critical Minerals Strategy, which includes collaboration through strategic partnerships and global initiatives.
