Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what mechanisms will be used to monitor supply chain resilience outcomes arising from the UK–US critical minerals partnership.

The UK’s Critical Mineral Strategy sets out ambitious success features to build domestic resilience and diversify global supply chains. These include meeting 10% of UK demand from domestic production, 20% from recycling and no more than 60% of any critical mineral from a single country. Our Memorandum of Understanding with the US will seek to deliver against these success features, with outcomes monitored by the Department for Business and Trade.
