Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions has he had with representatives of car manufacturers in the EU on continuing to use British made car parts after the UK leaves the EU.

There has been cross-government engagement with key businesses operating in the UK and EU across the automotive sector since the referendum.

The Department is working closely with the Department for Exiting the EU to understand the impacts that withdrawal from the EU will have on businesses, consumers and other economic actors on both sides of the channel. As my rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister has said we will work hard to get the best deal for Britain.
