Asked by: Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government how they intend to ensure that the administration of the US tariff quota continues to protect high-end British manufacturers and exporters.
Answered by Lord Stockwood
The UK remains the only country to have secured a 10% tariff for automotives within quota - saving hundreds of millions of pounds on UK exports annually.
We will continue to engage with the US Administration, and with the UK autos industry on how we can best deliver for them.
Supporting the sector remains a priority for this Government, and we will keep industry informed to support business planning and future investment decisions.
The UK's landmark economic deal with the US will protect thousands of jobs, support key British industries, and help drive economic growth.
