Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Prime Minister has raised the issue of exceptional tariffs being imposed on Bombardier aircraft by the government of the United States, with President Trump; and if so, when.

Since the outset of this investigation the Government robustly defended UK interests. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister raised this issue with President Trump a number of times, most recently in Davos last week. We are therefore pleased that the US ITC found in favour of Bombardier and ruled that there is no injury to the US aerospace industry.
