Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with business groups in the United States of America with regard to any potential digital deal with the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

The U.S. is our largest trading partner, with trade reaching over £290 billion in the 12 months to March 2023, and our most important trading partner in data-enabled exports. The UK exported over £75 billion worth of digitally delivered services to the U.S. in 2021.

Ministers and officials regularly engage with a wide range of stakeholders including business groups, civil society and SMEs in both the UK and the U.S. on a range of digital trade and wider trade matters.
