Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, when the Trade Remedies Authority plans to report to Parliament on its work; and if she will make a statement.
Under the Trade Act 2021, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) must prepare a performance report of its functions and include the statement of accounts in respect of each financial year. Under the terms of the Act, the TRA’s first financial year will cover the period from initiation on 1 June 2021 to 31 March 2023.
The TRA will report to my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade as soon as reasonably practicable after 31 March 2023 and the Secretary of State will lay the report before Parliament.
