Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to support information sharing on supply chain issues and concerns within the vehicle repair sector, as stated in the Motor Insurance Taskforce Final Report (10.12.25).

The Department for Business and Trade worked with other government departments, regulators and industry to support information sharing on supply chain issues affecting the vehicle repair sector, as set out in the Report. This included engagement through the Motor Insurance Taskforce and associated cross‑government and industry forums with insurance and motor trade bodies, including the Association of British Insurers and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. These forums will continue to provide a mechanism for sharing information on supply chain‑related issues, including those affecting vehicle repairs, and for informing wider government consideration of automotive supply chain resilience.
