Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress he is making in negotiating an increase in the 10% tariff quota of 100,000 vehicles to the United States from 2027.
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.
