Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress he has made on implementing the Single Trade Window set out in the UK-India Free Trade Agreement.

The Government is committed to minimising administrative burdens and frictions experienced by businesses trading internationally. The UK–India Free Trade Agreement reflects this, by including a commitment for both Parties to introduce or maintain a Single Window System.

The UK remains committed to delivering a Single Trade Window, recognising the potential benefits it offers for streamlining trade and improving border operation. Policy development is ongoing and focused on designing a service that delivers genuine value for businesses and strengthens the UK’s border system.
