Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to introducing (1) export duties, and (2) restrictions, on unprocessed aluminium scrap exports to non-European Union counties.

The Government recognises the importance of a circular economy and the need for domestic supply of scrap to meet demand, whilst also ensuring the market remains fair and beneficial for all stakeholders. We are actively listening to the perspectives of all involved parties.
