Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure fair competition in the UK electric vehicle market and protect domestic manufacturing.

The Government is supporting domestic manufacturing through long-term investment in innovation, skills, and EV battery production. As set out in the Trade Strategy, we promote international trade that is free and fair, including strengthening rules against harmful trading practices that distort competition.

We have taken steps to update our trade remedies framework to provide Ministers with greater flexibility to protect industry, and bring us in line with international peers. Businesses that believe imports dumped or subsidised are causing injury may apply to the Trade Remedies Authority for an investigation.
