Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

The west midlands is certainly one of the powerhouses of this country that will be important for powering the economy after we have left the European Union. These are matters that will be discussed in the fullness of time with the new mayor, Andy Street....

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Given my hon. Friend’s surname, I am sure that he will be declaring his interest. I assure him that the Government fully understand the importance of pigmeat to the economy of this country. I have had a meeting with the National Pig Association, and I am...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

The hon. Gentleman will know that the Government have guaranteed structural fund payments to 2020. He must also understand that responsibility for delivering infrastructure in Wales lies with the Welsh Assembly Government, so no doubt he will be speaking...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

May I say that Pendle has a strong voice going into the general election? Aerospace is a key industry for this country, which is why, as I said earlier, we have paid so much close attention to it. We will make sure that we continue to have the most import...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

We fully understand the importance of these issues to SMEs, including those in my hon. Friend’s constituency. Let me repeat for the umpteenth time in this Question Time that we are pursuing a bold and ambitious free trade agreement, which will benefit fir...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that question; indeed, leaving aside the north Wales coastline, hers is one of the most beautiful in the UK. Coastal communities contribute an important part of our economy. They are part of the study that we have been...

Scottish Food and Drink Sector

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

I am surprised to hear that. As I said a moment ago, the Scotch Whisky Association itself has identified enormous opportunities from Brexit. When the hon. Lady goes back to her constituency to do a bit of campaigning, perhaps she might go to her nearest d...

Scottish Food and Drink Sector

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Certainly, as I have said already, we are seeking a free trade agreement that would continue to secure such access. The Scotch Whisky Association has said that there are enormous opportunities for the sector if the UK can secure favourable bilateral trade...

Scottish Food and Drink Sector

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

We are working closely with colleagues across Government to assess the impacts that withdrawal from the EU will have across a number of sectors in cross-cutting areas. I have had meetings with a number of stakeholders from the Scottish food and drink sect...

Support for Farmers

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

We are presented with an unprecedented opportunity to redesign agricultural policies to suit the British agricultural industry. We are, indeed, meeting a number of interested parties and stakeholders from the agricultural sector. I have had meetings with...

Support for Farmers

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

It is me again, Mr Speaker. We are working closely with colleagues across Government to assess the impacts that withdrawal from the EU will have across a number of sectors in cross-cutting areas. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Aff...

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

The Department has carried out an in-depth assessment right across 50 sectors of the economy. We have made it clear, however, that it is not in the national interest for us to produce a running commentary on the way in which we are developing our negotiat...

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Let me say quite clearly that the Government’s ambition and intention are to achieve the best possible free trade agreement with our EU partners. However, our position is also that we expect to negotiate toughly and—unlike Labour’s, our position will be m...

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

First, these are the draft guidelines; the final guidelines will not be issued until 29 April. They are the guidelines under which the European Union wants us to operate the discussions, but it remains to be seen what our response will be.

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

A free trade agreement would clearly be of huge benefit not only to Land Rover in Shropshire, but to many other motor manufacturers around the country. As I have said, we are seeking an ambitious free trade agreement that will provide a host of opportunit...

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Our commitment to the security of workers’ rights has been well stated many times—indeed, we actually held a debate in Government time to ensure that that point was well made—and I am surprised that the hon. Gentleman should raise the issue yet again.

Trade and Customs Agreement

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

I think it is me again, Sir. This question was due to be linked with No. 10. The ministerial team have frequent discussions with colleagues across Departments, including the Department for International Trade, on our future relationship with the European...

Aerospace Industry

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

I have had several discussions with various aerospace companies, including Airbus, which I met in Bristol recently. We do understand that supply chains across Europe are heavily integrated, but there is a clear mutual interest in agreeing trading arrangem...

Aerospace Industry

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Yes, indeed. Boeing has announced 100 new jobs at its facility at Gatwick. Aviation and the aerospace industry are vital parts of our economy, and we have no doubt that they will continue to thrive after we have left the European Union.

Aerospace Industry

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

Engagement with industry is a central element of our plan to build a national consensus around our negotiating position. The Department has been listening and talking to aerospace manufacturers and industry groups across the UK and internationally, includ...
