Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department has taken towards deciding whether UK will align its regulations with the EU in certain sectors.

A more cooperative relationship with the EU is in the UK’s national interest, as it will help grow the economy and boost living standards.

All decisions taken by the Government on regulation will be focused on supporting growth across the UK. The Government will draw on evidence gathered though our strong relationships with stakeholders, including industry, trade associations and consumer groups.
