Manufacturing Industries

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 9 November 2017 to Question 110714, on the Manufacturing Technologies Association, what representations he has received from the Manufacturing Technologies Association on support for manufacturing businesses after the UK leaves the EU.

Answer

The Manufacturing Technology Association (MTA) has made regular representations to the Department on a range of issues of importance to the sector, including the implications of EU exit for MTA member companies.

As we continue to engage with MTA and industry more widely, we remain committed to making the UK the best place in Europe to own and grow a business after the UK leaves the EU.

That includes supporting those businesses that trade with the EU and wider international markets, as well as continuing to encourage record foreign direct investment that supports business and communities up and down the country.
