Manufacturing Industries: Imports
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the average length of time it takes components for just-in time manufacturing to reach the UK from (a) Eastern Europe and (b) China; and what proportion of that time is taken at the port of entry.
- Answer
-
No assessment has been made. Both the UK and the EU share a strong commercial interest in preserving integrated supply chains, including those that support just-in-time production across the entire manufacturing sector.
The Government has produced Technical Notices to help businesses, citizens and consumers to prepare for March 2019 in the event of a no-deal scenario. Our objective is to minimise disruption by taking unilateral action to prioritise continuity and stability.
