The Government has submitted over 7,000 pages of argument and evidence to the US International Trade Administration and International Trade Commission. These are publically available [subject to some redactions of confidential information] at: https://access.trade.gov and https://edis.usitc.gov respectively. We continue to work closely with Canada and Bombardier, and our submissions complement theirs.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to her by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth on 16 January 2017 to Question 122103.
