Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with which individual states of the United States her Department is negotiating memoranda of understanding as of 19 May 2022.

The UK Government engages regularly with states across the US, to identify the best approach to strengthening our economic relationships.

MoUs are one of a range of mechanisms to achieve this. We are therefore hoping to sign a number of MOUs by the end of the year. Our first will be with Indiana.

We will be making announcements in due course according to the pipeline of MOUs underway.
