Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the projected increase in value of (1) beef, and (2) ethanol products, to be imported from the USA to the UK as a result of the UK–US trade agreement.

On 8 May the UK government announced a landmark economic deal with the United States.

We have agreed new reciprocal market access on beef – with UK farmers given a guaranteed quota for 13,000 metric tonnes of beef exports at a very low tariff rate.

For ethanol, the UK is introducing a quota of 1.4bn litres for the US. We already import a significant amount of ethanol from the US, and this will lead to savings for UK consumers.

This government will continue to act in Britain’s national interest – for workers, for business and for families.
