Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury on 5 November (HCWS188), what are the specific reasons for the pause in delivery of the UK Single Trade Window programme.

The Government has paused delivery of the Single Trade Window (STW) as part of the allocation of overall SR25 funding, due to the challenging wider fiscal context. We will provide a further update on the STW as part of the next phase of the Spending Review.
