Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of UK business support for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

UK businesses mobilised quickly in support of Ukraine and have become an effective partner for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

The Department for Business and Trade works in partnership with British Businesses and the Government of Ukraine on their reconstruction priorities in the immediate, medium and long term.

The UK has received repeated praise and thanks from the Government of Ukraine for its innovative approach, agility and commitment. Successful examples include the London Conference Framework on war risk insurance to underpin reconstruction and an energy partnership to provide long-term sustainable support to a critical sector in Ukraine.
