Motor Vehicles: USA
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his department is taking to increase the annual quota British car manufacturers can export tariff free to the United States of America.
- Answer
-
The UK remains the only country to have secured a 10% tariff for automotives within quota - saving hundreds of millions of pounds on UK exports annually.
We will continue to engage with the US Administration, and with the UK autos industry, on how we can best deliver for them.
Supporting the sector remains a priority for this Government, and we will keep industry informed to support business planning and future investment decisions.
The UK's landmark economic deal with the US will protect thousands of jobs, support key British industries, and help drive economic growth.
