Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of Chinese electric vehicle imports on the UK automotive sector.

The Government is aware of concerns about the impact of Chinese Electric Vehicles as well as other vehicle imports and is closely monitoring this issue. China's growing role in the global automotive industry brings competitive challenges for the UK automotive sector, which brings risks, but also opportunities. The Government is closely analysing how these challenges impact the UK's economy and industry. Any action that it takes needs to be the right one for the UK automotive industry. More broadly, the Government continues to support the UK automotive sector through investment in innovation, Research & Development, and skills to ensure its growth and competitiveness.
